I get where you`re coming from because I`m tired of utopian solutions from dreamers in Europe.
But I believe Murakami is a guy who also understands the tank driver and our kids in Sderot. I know we`re not used to having media acknowledge our citizens as people, so we get defensive, but I give Mr. Murakami the benefit of the doubt.
From his speech I feel he`s criticizing the entire system that has our neighbors trying to destroy us in the first place and the world legitimizing it and the common acceptance of boycotting Israel because it`s the in thing to do. This guy is acknowledging our fight to overcome this as individuals and as societies.
This guy is deeper than our critics from Europe, and this guy is a novelist, not a critic.
In Norwegian Wood he painted a really accurate picture of some self-righteous university organizations, quite similar to many of our critics. All I`m saying is before dismissing him or arguing, see that he`s not picking fights or sides.. besides us eggs |
