“I went to interview some of these early Jewish colonial zealots—written off in those days as mere 'fringe' elements—and found that they called themselves Gush Emunim or—it sounded just as bad in English—'The Bloc of the Faithful.' Why not just say 'Party of God' and have done with it? At least they didn't have the nerve to say that they stole other people's land because their own home in Poland or Belarus had been taken from them. They said they took the land because god had given it to them from time immemorial. In the noisome town of Hebron, where all of life is focused on a supposedly sacred boneyard in a dank local cave, one of the world's less pretty sights is that of supposed yeshivah students toting submachine guns and humbling the Arab inhabitants. When I asked one of these charmers where he got his legal authority to be a squatter, he flung his hand, index finger outstretched, toward the sky.”

“আর কিছু নয় শুধু অগণন ভ্রান্তিবিলাস মানুষকে ঘিরে থাকে অনুক্ষণ। মানুষ অবিরাম দিনকে রাত হয়ে যেতে দেখেও বলে দিন কখনো রাত হয় না। মানুষ ভুলে যায় বীজে বৃক্ষের ছায়াও প্রচ্ছন্ন থাকে। টগরের গন্ধভরা চিরায়ত হাওয়া মানুষ পুরে রাখে টয়োটার টায়ারে, টায়ারে। বুঝি তাই মানুষ কাছে গেলে প্রকৃত সারস উড়ে যায়। মানুষ শঙ্খমালার অভিমান মনে রাখে না। টাপুর টুপুর বৃষ্টিতে মানুষ যে তিন কন্যার বিয়ে দেয়, জানে না কি হলো তাদের শেষে।”
