Glenn Reynolds posts an email from Yehudah Mirsky, an old law-school class-mate of Glenn’s, who was near the Hebrew University bombing today. Read the whole email. But for my money, the end is the most poignant:
As it turns out I was reading Nietzsche today, and I wonder how much of this he is responsible for too, these crazy notions of self-actualization through violence that he spat into the culture and take on a life of their own, all over. I’m lucky, I have an American passport and in theory could head for the airport anytime I want. Where is everybody else supposed to go? And one more thing that makes me tired and angry, that like a nice Jewish boy I go on praying for peace not only for the Jews but for the Arabs too, while they keep praying to my God to kill me. Yours, without answers, but still praying for peace like a river, Yehudah.
