Galilee Flowers
(The
Collected Essays of Israel Shamir)
|
|
The essays collected in the this book were written during
the years 2001-2002, in the old Palestinian port-town of
Jaffa, on the shore of the Eastern Mediterranean, during the
Second Intifada, or Intifada al-Aqsa, but they are not
limited to events in Palestine. The war in the Holy Land is
presented as the centre-stage of the world-wide struggle of
ideas, against a backdrop of such momentous modern
developments as the growing influence of American Jewry
("the Rise of the Jews"), the decline of the Left, the
ascent of Globalisation, the first steps of the anti-Globalisation
movement, and the outbreak of World War Three with America
against the Third World. It is a daring attempt to tie
together various political, theological, military and social
threads, and to formulate fresh concepts that provide people
with new tools for analysis and action. While seeking the
Liberation of Palestine, the author pursues another, more
broad goal as well: that of the Liberation of Public
Discourse.
REVIEW: Israel Shamir is in love with the Holy Land. He
has a passion for the land and its people; he believes the
two are umbilically linked. For him there is only one viable
solution to the conflict that has ravaged the region for so
long and that is the one state solution. Shamir is a
humanist and although he is scathing about Palestine's
enemies - the Jewish elite - he takes pride in and writes
lovingly about the courageous Jews, who resist Israeli
crimes.
Flowers of Galilee is a collection of essays, so full of
affection - such an elegy of love - that, reading it for the
first time, I felt impelled to delay the turning of pages,
preferring instead to linger over images - to savour the
sentiments. Shamir does not pull any punches. He challenges
conventional thinking, but he does so with honesty,
affection and such thorough understanding and knowledge that
his outspokenness is reasonable and rational. Flowers of
Galilee is an eye opener - a learning experience. It is also
enchanting.

Herausgegeben von Fritz Edlinger, aus dem Englischen übersetzt

Eine jüdische Geschichte erzählt von einem stummen Kind, das trotz
intensiver ärztlicher Bemühungen niemals ein Wort sprach. Eines Tages, im
fortgeschrittenen Alter von 10 Jahren, ließ es bei Tisch plötzlich seinen
Löffel fallen und rief: "Die Suppe ist zu salzig!" Die Eltern fragten ihr
Kind erstaunt, warum es all die Jahre geschwiegen hatte und es antwortete:
"Bis jetzt war immer alles in Ordnung."
