“My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town ... a German soldier shot her dead in her bed. My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploit the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians.” HomeGovernmentDiesBedShotsMurderTownsGuiltSoldierIllJewGrandmotherHolocaustJustificationPalestinianContinuingNaziMy GrandmotherExploitsIsraeliSlaughterGazaGentilesHome TownGerman SoldiersIsraeli Soldiers Author:Gerald Kaufman
“A town, before it can be plundered and, deserted, must first be taken; and in this particular Venus has borrowed a law from her consort Mars. A woman that wishes to retain her suitor must keep him in the trenches; for this is a siege which the besieger never raises for want of supplies, since a feast is more fatal to love than a fast, and a surfeit than a starvation. Inanition may cause it to die a slow death, but repletion always destroys it by a sudden one.” WantFirstsMayLawDiesWishCausesTakenParticularTownsRaisesMarsStarvationBorrowedSuppliesVenusCourtshipDesertedTrenchesSiegeSuitors Book:Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think Source: Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think
