  • The National Left (First Draft) by Shmuel Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv
    The National Left (First Draft) by Shmu'el Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv Open Source Center OSC Summary: A self-published book by Israeli playwright Shmu'el Hasfari and political activist Eldad Yaniv entitled "The National Left (First Draft)" bemoans the death of Israel's political left. http://www.fas.org/irp/dni/osc/israel-left.pdf Statement by the Authors The contents of this publication are the responsibility of the authors, who also personally bore the modest printing costs. Any part of the material in this book may be photocopied and recorded. It is recommended that it should be kept in a data-storage system, transmitted, or recorded in any form or by any electronic, optical, mechanical means, or otherwise. Any form of commercial use of the material in this book is permitted without the explicit written permission of the authors. 1. The Left The Left died the day the Six-Day War ended. With the dawn of the Israeli empire, the Left's sun sank and the Small [pun on Smol, the Hebrew word for Left] was born. The Small is a mark of Cain, a disparaging term for a collaborator, a lover of Arabs, a hater of Israel, a Jew who turns against his own people, not a patriot. The Small-ists eat pork on Yom Kippur, gobble shrimps during the week, drink espresso whenever possible, and are homos, kapos, artsy-fartsy snobs, and what not. Until 1967, the Left actually managed some impressive deeds -- it took control of the land, ploughed, sowed, harvested, founded the state, built the army, built its industry from scratch, fought Arabs, settled the land, built the nuclear reactor, brought millions of Jews here and absorbed them, and set up kibbutzim, moshavim, and agriculture.

  • The Samson Heuristic 7.31.18.Pages
    ©2018 Danny Rittman and Brian Downing Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are. – Epigrams in Programming, ACM SIGPLAN Sep 1993 Barry's first taste of battle was only a skirmish against a small rearguard of Frenchmen who occupied an orchard beside a road down which, a few hours later, the English main force would wish to pass. Though this encounter is not recorded in any history books, it was memorable enough for those who took part. – Stanley Kubrick, Barry Lyndon New Mexico “Everything looks way overexposed out here,” Barrett grumbled as he drove into the studio parking lot. The direct sun, treeless streets, and cloudless skies make for a brightness that caused people to say his photos were harsh and software could take something off. “But that’s what New Mexico looks like,” he’d shoot back. “Overexposed. Way overexposed.” He found a place to park in the visitors section and walked toward the television studio that did contract work for international news stations. “At least it’s easy to park. Even in downtown Albuquerque.” Barrett stiffened and looked warily as a young man exited the building and came toward him. The man walked past him, got into his car, and drove off. Barrett continued to watch him a few moments more before entering the building. “Maybe someday I’ll stop doing that.” “Barrett Parker,” he announced to the receptionist. “I’m scheduled for an interview on Al Jazeera at two.” She made a quick look on her screen and replied, “Studio 4, just down the hall to the left.” He nodded and walked down the hallway, stopping to check his longish hair and short beard for the proper amount of dishevelment which he thought conveyed distance from convention.

Bei der intensiven Beschäftigung mit diesem ungewöhnlichen Menschen, habe ich mir herausgenommen, ein wenig in seinen Gedanken zu lesen. Und diesen Gedanken eine sehr knappe, poetische Form zu geben.
