Etgar Keret Quotes
What connects me so strongly to Israel is the fact that I'm second generation. My parents said, "We have a place where we can just be ourselves and nobody says, 'Don't tell me your opinion, you damn Jew, go somewhere else.'"

But I really truly believe - you read it in my stories - that deep inside, people have goodness.
