The Violent Century
“JERUSALEM 1964There’s a murmur of interruption, a moment during Anton Gerasimov’s testimony. The Israeli soldiers scattered along the walls, even they stand to attention, and the judges perk up, and the foreign correspondents turn this way and that as if unsure exactly as to the nature of the interruption. The doors to the courtroom open and in comes a large, barrel-chested, as they say, man. He wears dusty khakis and what the Israelis call a Tembel hat, a cotton, bell-shaped hat that shades hi...s dark face from the sun. The man’s skin is indeed dark – no, not dark, not so much dark as a peculiar shade of deep green. He pauses and looks around the courtroom and the murmurs rise, and someone gasps, The Sabra!The Sabra’s eyes pan across the room until they find the man in the glass box, and there they linger. The Old Man watches from the back of the room. A tension in the courtroom, like an electric current (but not from the Electric Twins, only one of whom is present). The Sabra moves his head, his neck is thick, he raises one arm and thorns burst out of it, and in a ring around his neck, and out of his back.MoreLess
