Saramago said that, before his visit to Ramallah he knew there were Israeli tanks there and that Arafat had been confined to his offices. "I didn't know that two colonies with army posts overlook Ramallah," he said. "I didn't know that every Palestinian settlement is under a separate siege."
The Israeli paper adds: "Asked by Ha'aretz where the gas chambers were, he replied; 'So far, there are none.' " Oh well, uh, never mind.
Saramago won a Nobel Literature Prize in 1998.

But if anyone's Nazi-like here, it's the fundamentalist Muslims and militant Arabs. IslamWeb.net features an essay called "Holy War Against the Jews":
It's a holy religious war not for land or sacred places. It is a war between Islam and Judaism, between faith and disbelief. Therefore our martyrs are in paradise and their killed people are in hell. . . .
You can take a look on the daily news to see Muslims are causing fear to the descendants of pigs and monkeys. Muslims will never surrender and Jerusalem will never be the capital of the Jews. And the sect mentioned in the hadith will continue fighting till the end of Jews.
Of course it's not just Jews these people hate. The Toronto Globe and Mail interviews Fatima Halabiyeh, mother of a suicide bomber who murdered 10 Jews in Jerusalem last December. Asked about Sept. 11, she makes clear that her hatred extends not just to Jews but to Americans as well: "Certainly we were all pleased. Not because we wanted those people to suffer, but because we were glad to see America weakened. America is the perpetrator of everything that happens here."
