Scandinavia is really beautiful , so I've heard. The Fjords , the ice , the rocks ... , if you are a scandinavian -you enjoy great health care, and you live in an area where no wars or earth quakes ever take place - heaven on earth? Most scandinavian enjoy great financial conditions too . True - the weather is too often cold and grey , and just like the song goes , "...nothing ever happens . Nothing happens at all.." . The rumer goes that inspite of Liberalism and sexual freedom , sex in Scandinavia is boring in the best case (Maybe that's why the phornografy industry is booming over there) ! Its a cosy nightmare - so what can you do to escape emptiness and boredom ??? what can you -against this nothingness , and yet feel like you are important ??? Aha !- you become a "peace activist " . You travel to Israel ,and mingle with self-hating Israelis and with Arabs who identify (not hard to find) ,and then you can say you are an expert on issues concerning the Middle East . Of course you wouldn't even dream of going to Syria or Afganistan to try to critisize the governments there - because then , you wouldn't be able to talk about it with a lofty feeling of self importance at coffee talks ... You see yourself as "objective" . That is to say , you compare Israelis who live peacefully in Judea and Samaria to Arabs in Gaza . You would call them all " extremists from both sides" . I recently read that on Sesame street in the Palestinian Channel the puppet ened its life as a Shahid, a martyr - killing a great number of Jews , not to mention end-of-year parties in the Arab Kindergardens , where the sweet toddlers are dressed in army uniforms , holding guns ...
From Israel it is very convenient to write about its faults and how agressive Israelies are - and that is because you know that unlike dark regimes in the Middle East , in Israel you are safe and sound and even applouded to by Israelies with infiriority complex . More than that , Israel is convenient to live in , as food , clothing and other things are in abundance ,and so much cheaper than in Europe . So you stay. Its a dirty job ,but someone has to do it .
