Israel Is A Fulfilled Dream. Nothing That

Amos Oz

Israel is a fulfilled dream. nothing that exists here existed here a hundred years ago. "the state of the jews" was not a title of a country. it was a title of a futuristic novel. a little more than a hundred years ago, "tel aviv" was not a city. it was a title of another novel written by the same author. the "return to zion" was a name of another novel. there was a bookshelf. there was no state. there was no nation. all you can see, if you look through the window - everything you see is a fulfillment of dreams, different dreams.
