Amos Oz Fima did not let up:
"Do you remember that famous line of poetry of Amir Gilboa? 'Suddenly a man gets up in the morning, he realizes to be a people and sets off'? That's the absurdity of which I'm talking about. First, Professor, the truth, hand on heart, is: did you ever get up in the morning and suddenly realize that you are a people? At most, in the afternoon. Who's going to be able to get up in the morning and realize to be a people? And what's more get in the way. Perhaps Geula Cohen, who is rising in the morning and you feel like shit? ".
