Notable Quotes “Say What?!”
We’ve never missed a game at Michigan or New England or wherever. For the first two games [of this season] when I was in the hospital, I didn’t even care if they were playing, much less missing the game. It was a matter of life and death, just like [for] anybody who goes to the hospital. That’s serious stuff. - Tom Brady, Sr. in an ESPN interview disclosing that he and his cancer-surviving wife battled Covid at the beginning of this season, during his son’s first two games as quarterback of Tampa Bay
When I announced it, you all said it wasn’t possible. Gimme a break. C’mon man. - President Biden’s response to a question whether the goal of distributing 100 million vaccines in 100 days is too modest
Entire shelves of my office library are devoted to the Arab-Israeli conflict. The titles range from The History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 5th Edition, to the Routledge Atlas of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, and Teaching the Arab-Israeli Conflict. There are the reference books once considered essential – The Arab-Israeli Conflict: Readings and Documents, by John Norton Moore, and Walter Laqueur’s The Arab-Israel Reader. There are right- and leftwing perspectives, works by Muslims, Christians, Jews, the memoirs of peacemakers and generals. The literature spans over seven decades and seemed destined to expand through many more. But, suddenly, these books about history have become books of history. Now, with the signing of the Abraham Accords between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, and Bahrain, and the Moroccan-Israeli peace deal, the Arab-Israeli conflict is dead. – Michael Oren, Israel’s former ambassador to the United States, writing in Tablet Magazine
If Biden really wanted unity, he’d lynch Mike Pence. -Tweet by New York Times contributor Will Wilkinson
Sheldon loved an Israel that most of the residents living here don’t even want. He preached a racism that is inimical to us. He supported discrimination against Arabs, which we are definitely not prepared to go along with. He hated leftists and did his utmost to make Israeli society fractious. He encouraged internal disputes and rivalries among ourselves, even though he himself didn’t live here. Everything he loved, I hate. Everything I love about Israel has nothing to do with Adelson. – From a Jerusalem Post op-ed about recently deceased Sheldon Adelson by Ehud Olmert, the former prime minister of Israel who spent years in jail for engaging in bribery and corruption, titled, “I hate everything Sheldon Adelson loved about Israel”
