Writing A Poem Is Like Having An Affair, A One-night Stand; A Short Story Is A Romance, A Relationship; A Novel Is A Marriage-one Has To Be Cunning, Devise Compromises, And Make Sacrifices.

The Jews Have A Powerful Ally, America, But They Do Not Really Have A Bigger Family In The Same Way That There Is A European Family Or An Arab-muslim Family.

It Most Certainly No Longer Will Be Relevant When Israel Returns To Her Internationally Recognized Northern Border.

The Opposite Of Compromise Is Not Integrity. The Opposite Of Compromise Is Not Idealism. The Opposite Of Compromise Is Fanaticism And Death.
