His interactions with women are very strange 💀

Wild

"Natarsid, natarsid, ma hame ba ham hastim. Have no fear. We are all together here."

“Our violence was not literate.”

“…if she could bear to, bear it, bear a child, if she could just be a good girl and bleed.”

Really enjoying this

“Even as a child, I quite quickly realised that it was more interesting with the women. The men either talked about the politics of ages past or played cards…But the women talked about real people and real problems. Which neighbour had argued with her mother-in-law; whose daughter was engaged to whose son but had shown herself to be immoral; which families had drifted into an American lifestyle,”

very curious how they make this into a play

loving the fantastical elements

gorgeous, gorgeous writing

“Like I say: justice is always one step behind injustice.”

“For almost thirty years the UN uncritically adopted the rhetorical obfuscations of Abba Eban, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, who referred to the refugees as constituting a ‘humane problem’ for which no one could be held accountable or responsible."

"Inexplicably, the issue of Israel’s legal (read: ‘illegal’) status in UN-designated Arab Palestine was never raised during the momentary interest the international community briefly displayed in the fate of post-mandatory Palestine and that of its indigenous population."

the writing is a bit clunky at some parts

"...a human but will never be a person, to what is always a product."
