Americans admire a people who can scratch a desert and produce a garden. The Israelis have shown qualities that Americans identify with: guts patriotism idealism a passion for freedom. I have seen it. I know. I believe that.

Few people even scratch the surface much less exhaust the contemplation of their own experience.
I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.
