After inviting Dahl into their small, basic shelter for coffee, the husband and Roald Dahl had a long conversation about the centrality of Israel in Jewish life, which Dahl was able to record word for word over forty years later. “You have a country to live in and it is called England,” the Jewish man told Dahl. “Therefore you have no problems.”

Dahl wrote; “‘We need a homeland,’ the man was saying. ‘We need a country of our own. Even the Zulus have Zululand. But we have nothing.’”

Well I just can't imagine why the guy who was sympathetic at first to the jews saying they just want a homeland ceased to be sympathetic when he found out that they want his homeland, too. It's truly inexplicable.
