Many intellectuals in america and in europe, they are in the habit of taking sides: who are the bad guys? who are the good guys? they launch a demonstration against the bad guys, sign a petition in favor of the good guys, and going to sleep feeling well about themselves. this is not the case here. the israeli-palestinian conflict is a tragedy; it is a clash between right and right.

Sometimes, recently israeli-palestinian conflict is indeed a clash between wrong and wrong. it is not as simple as fascism was. every decent man had to be against fascism, period. it is not as simple as apartheid or colonialism or racism or misogyny. it is not simple because the palestinians have no other land. they are absolutely right about this. the israeli jews also have no other land and they are absolutely right about this. it is a tragedy of two peoples claiming the same very small country, about the size of new jersey.

Do you want a sign that you're asleep? here it is: you're suffering. suffering is a sign that you're out of touch with the truth. suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth, that you might understand that there's falsehood somewhere, just as physical pain is given to you so you will understand that there is disease or illness somewhere. suffering occurs when you clash with reality. when your illusions clash with reality, when your falsehoods clash with truth, then you have suffering. otherwise there is no suffering.

There were reprints of american editorials. liberals saw it as a resurgence of social protest and decried the discrimination, poverty, and hunger that had provoked it. conservative columnists acidly pointed out that hungry people don't steal stereo systems first and called for a crackdown in law enforcement. all of the reasoned editorials sounded hollow in light of the perverse randomness of the event. it was as if only a thin wall of electric lighting protected the great cities of the world from total barbarism.

And yet every so often, the heart of america, shuddering with indignation, sends a nervous spasm through the gentle back of the andes, and tumultuous shock waves assault the surface of the land. three times the cuppola of proud santo domingo has collapsed from on high to the rhythm of broken bones and its worn walls have opened and fallen too. but the foundations they rest on are unmoved, the great blocks of the temple of the sun exhibit their gray stone indifferently; however colossal the disaster befalling its oppressor, not one of its huge rocks shifts from its place.

Houses are cellular walls; they keep our problems from bleeding into everyone else's.

The whole financial structure of wall street seems to rise or fall on the mere fact that the federal reserve bank raises or lowers the amount of interest. any business that can't survive a one percent change must be skating on thin ice. why even the poor farmer took a raise of another ten percent just to get a loan from the bank, and nobody from the government paid any attention. but you let wall street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help to get them back into bed again.
