Paradoxes and Fantasies
Sharp, accurate and sadly funny:
The Winograd report seems to be getting more coverage in the Lebanese media than the Israeli media. I find that perplexing. In Lebanon, officially, we don’t even recognize that Israel exists. So a commission from a fictitious country that supposedly borders us in the south demonstrates our fondness for fiction. We already knew that though. We seem to get off on fiction. We follow leaders that spew great stories. Some are divinely inspired fairytales. Others are great motivational self-help lessons by fake doctors. Of course, one of our favourites are from the children’s genre. Easy to understand, very colourful yet makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Of course, being a land of highly talented people, sometimes you get all genres in one speech, sentence and even gesture.
Read the rest here, it is worth it.
