BBC Summary of Suicide Bombings in Israel
on: October 12, 2003, 08:16:02 am
I was at work, looking in Google for, of all things, "shop in israel" (to see where a website operated by the company is ranked), and I came across this summary.

Holy crap. It's amazing how much of this has just been forgotten in the annals of my mind - I'm ashamed. :o

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Hmm.... I actually have no idea. :p I don't keep up with neews here very much beyond the SMS news flashes I get - there's just too much. :doubt:

But you can take a quick gander at Israeli news columns either at www.haaretzdaily.com ,www.israelnationalnews.com, or www.jpost.com (free registration required). Those are the main Engligh-language Israeli news sites.
