“I came to the conclusion that war was an unacceptable way of solving whatever problems there were in the world--that there would be problems of tyranny, of injustice, of nations crossing frontiers and that injustice and tyranny should not be tolerated and should be fought and resisted, but the one thing that must not be used to solve that problem is war. Because war is inevitably the indiscriminate killing of large numbers of people. And that fact overwhelms whatever moral cause is somewhere buried in the history of that war.” PeopleWorldWayShouldWarFactsProblemWould BeUsedNationsCausesNumbersMoralOne ThingKillingInjusticeSolveTyrannyConclusionBuriedFrontiersCrossingsLarge Numbers Book:Howard Zinn Speaks: Collected Speeches 1963-2009 Source: Howard Zinn Speaks: Collected Speeches 1963-2009

“People in Israel would write in a high register, they wouldn't write colloquial speech. I do a special take on colloquial speech. When I started writing, I thought [the language] was telling the story of this country: old people in a young nation, very religious, very conservative, very tight-assed, but also very anarchistic, very open-minded. It's all in the language, and that's one thing that doesn't translate.” PeopleWritingCountryStoriesYoungLanguageNationsReligiousOne ThingSpecialSpeechConservativeIsraelTranslateOld PeopleOpen MindedRegister Author:Etgar Keret
