people say that we have great influence in israel, but if that was true, then israel might have looked a little different from what it is now. literature has the ability to use the right words, not the words of that... the big systems, the government, the army, the media or our fears fabricate for us but all things by the right name and by that to remove the buffers that separate between the individual and the situation but more than everything, i think, writers have this ability to look at the point of view... to look from the point of view from the other even if this other is my enemy. it does not weaken my stand, my position. it does not weaken my israeli identity. >> rose: writers and the power to do that but politicians don't. >> i'm afraid that most politicians... >> rose: but why? >> that's a very good question. why is that? maybe because they feel especially in regions like us where violence is so dominant maybe they feel that they have to address the fears, the anxiety of the people in order to become popular. >> rose: it is often said by people who have reviewed this book tha
