It's a translation of an interview that appeared in some mass
circulation tabloid in Isael with this guy nicknamed "Kurdi Bear",
who drove an armoured bulldozer around in Jenin refugee camp
earlier this year flattening stuff. Regardless of any kind of political
subtext you might like to infer, what is fascinating about it is the
simple pleasure the guy gets from smashing things up and
destroying people's homes. At times I wonder whether that's part
of the appeal of war, the way it gives carte blanche to men to act
like maniacs.
