“For Israel and Palestine, or Republicans and Democrats or Jews and Gentiles, I think there are more than just two narratives because in narrative terms, there are never just two sides to any story, that a story if it is a story does not create sides, it creates understanding, which makes sides simplistic,
I mean, does Shakespeare have Hamlet versus his uncle, or Shylock versus Portia, he may start out there but the best story basically forces you to throw this idea of sides into the trash, Human life is not like that, though politics would want us to believe it is. And so long as we buy that premise, we imprison ourselves in boring over determined stories that suffocate subtlety and kill complexity.” Paul writing to an NSL Candidate tonight- poor kid, see what he unleashed.
