It's much smaller of course, smaller territory than South Africa, and somehow one has a feeling that the hostility, the animosity is much closer. People are literally in each others face. And the hatred I felt was much deeper than was in South Africa. South Africa one had a sense that there was a way out. In the case of Palestine/Israel, maybe because it's so hugely contested internationally, maybe because of the backing of the Western world, America particularly for Israel, it seems to be so much more hopeless.from France24: Breyten Breytenbach: the greatest Afrikaner poet of his generation!
