Christ
is Risen!
|
|
It is a beautiful and colourful feast, when
processions of various denominations march in and out, while young
Syrian and Armenian boys throw wild and inspiring dances full of
manly power. After hours of chants and prayers, Holy Fire burst out
of the empty Tomb to encourage us at this most frightening Saturday
of the year, the Saturday when the Lord was dead. During this godless
Saturday Christ fought the gates of Hell, and its outcome was far
from obvious. The Holy Fire was a sign of life from the Tomb. And
with sunrise on Easter Sunday came a beautiful day, a day of new
hope and new promise.

451
The French publisher, Balland, of my book « l’Autre
Visage d’Israël », (Galilee Flowers in its original English
version) decided to withdraw and burn it after being threatened by
Zionists. Thus, my book joins the books of Voltaire and Joyce,
Nabokov and Celine, and it is much better company than my enemies
can hope for. My congratulations to the Jewish Lobby of France that
proved its valour and ability to protect the French from
uncomfortable ideas. I am sure its ideas will live for, though paper
melts at 451 F, human spirit is unvanquishable...TOP

His New Career
Maariv, an Israeli tabloid, had printed a
grotesquely distorted face of Jacques Chirac above the caption,
Antisemitic Mug of France. Hysterical comparisons of Chirac with
Marshal Petain were made by Amnon Dankner, the Maariv chief editor.
His editorial and other articles, notably by Nahum Barnea (he called
Chirac ‘the collaborator’), were aiming at the French Jews, pouring
inflammatory venom in order to set them against their non-Jewish
neighbours and against France. Maariv even hired an extraordinary
pen, one A. Schickelgruber...

Days of Awe
I write to you with much love, my brothers and sisters in
the Palestine-loving web community. I know your noble hearts and
steadfast support of the difficult but sublime cause. You are the
best; you are as good as your non-Jewish brothers and sisters. You
rejected the temptation of exclusivity, you have embraced your
Palestinian friends, and through them you have been united with
mankind. And now some of you have a problem...

Success and failure
An interview to a Greek magazine:
Whenever I travel in the Eastern Mediterranean, I deeply regret that
there are no Greeks in Smyrna, no Turks in Thessalonica. In
Constantinople, Hagia Sophia and Hagia Irini still remember their
Orthodox Past, and the mosques in Rhodes bewail their glory. This
tragedy is still with us, for the Greeks were an important and
leading element in the Ottoman Empire, this successor of the
Byzantines...

MURDER MOST FOUL
War is crime, but this is the manly crime defying effeminate
mores and rigid society. The most convinced pacifist can be carried
away by the sight of charging cavalry, attacking troops, roaring
tanks and fighter jets taking off a desert strip..

The Martial Arts
of
Discourse
(Response to the article `In the Same Camp as Hamsun?' by
Haakon Kolmanskog in the Norwegian newspaper Klassekampen). Usually,
newspaper polemic is akin to epee fencing: one tries to keep the
opponent at arm's length, avoid his thrusts and draw his blood. The
thoughtful and friendly query of Haakon Kolmanskog deserves a quite
different attitude and a most sincere reply. Haakon poses a
question: We can't be indifferent if friends of the Palestinians are
branded anti-Semites. Who will benefit in allowing the Zionists to
have a free go playing the anti-Semite card against anyone who
criticise them?

Yom Kippur Blessings
to My Brothers in
Zion
Our teachers of blessed memory forbade us to enter the Land
of Israel until we shall see the light of Messiah. We thought we
were wiser and rejected this commandment with contempt. But they
knew what they meant and they knew harshness of our hearts. We came
into this sweet Land and we are locking ourselves in a high-rise
ghetto surrounded by the double ring of barbed wire and endless
hostility. Inevitably we re-create the way of life of our ancestors
in a Polish schtetl. One can not escape oneself. We carry Exile in
our hearts and that is why we create Exile.
