ball of confusion

not to be confused with the ball of Confucius.
recent events and newspaper readings lead me to rethink about the way history is played out in poeples heads.
reading more of the book "1967" by tom segev just keeps befalling me more and more, how did i not know everything that is written in that book? perhaps it is the long story of wiki. the wiki vision of history is written by individuals, and they, unlike what jean luc picard would have you think, are not always from the winning side (except if you are reading wiki in hebrew, where the writers are always from the victorious jewish super human variety). the history segev writes about, is present in the memoirs of all the main characters, begin, dayan echkol, dado, narkis, ben guryon, bar lev and herzog. how the conclusions he makes me see eluded and continue to elude the public of israel is a riddle that time will not answer. there is a reason they dont know what happened in 1967, and happened again in 1982, 1987, 1996, 2001, 2006, and 2009. all the atrocities that we hear about from dubious sources and refuse to believe that are true, but we cant deny the fact we know they are true are all but the same as what happened 44 years ago. the looting, the destruction and all purposefully propagated against humanity from the nation of victims, that in every generation an enemy rises up to extinguish them.
every israeli who hasent read "1967" knows nothing about his heritage and his past, his debt to the world, and to humanity. but i guess where poeple read catch 22 and then want to become fighter pilots there is little hope. all this from a person who has read less books then he has digits on his hands.

A new year. nothing else is new.
