[can you lead the nation with a microphone?]~discourse for green microphones~

the thing …is that  i remember the microphone you gave  me last  time.  it was a green  one, and I didn’t  have the  courage  to  use it. You  told  me I can  lead the nation with it.remember?I  told  you  that I  don’t  like microphones, but still, I  took it. Now I keep  it as a memory. it was my  birthday. now, you remember?

the thing is …that now  I like microphones. especially the green ones. only  if they  could speak sometimes.It’s like hoping to  hear a close voice, or hearing the sound and not recognizing who’s  voice it is. it’s like, the day you  wanted to lead the nation, but  I told you  this is a  hard thing to do, but you answered me this is not impossible. [and you hoped.  >now, you  remember?<]

Other times we  found out  that microphones are in fact  easy to use, but it depends what  nation you  decide to lead with them, and the color.[well  yes, the color is important]. I choose the green one. It reminds me of the nation you  chose. The nation I was invited to lead, but I couldn’t .

The thing is…that  I have never had a microphone. But now I have.  A green one.

WITH luck, the destructive two-week battle between Israel and Hamas may soon draw to an end. But how long before the century-long war between Arabs and Jews in Palestine follows suit? It is hard to believe that this will happen any time soon. Consider: Israel’s current operation, “Cast Lead”, marks the fourth time Israel has fought its way into Gaza. It almost captured Gaza (behind a pocket containing a young Egyptian army officer called Gamal Abdul Nasser) in 1948, in the war Israelis know as their war of independence. It captured Gaza again in 1956, as part of a secret plan hatched with Britain and France to topple Nasser as Egypt’s president and restore British control of the Suez Canal. It invaded a third time during the six-day war of 1967—and stayed there for 38 years, until withdrawing unilaterally three and a half years ago.
