Cat Lady

Amalia Kahana Carmon died and nobody noticed it. She had been a celebrated Hebrew writer, Prize Israel in Literature, Prize Bialik and many others. Born in kibbutz Eyn Harod during its heroic period, a descendant of the Baal Shem Tov, she was a failed product (*) of the Zionist movement. Balaban, in the anti-Semite fishwrap HaAretz, compares this silence with the international media lament for another writer of her generation, Amos Oz, who died a days ago. Balaban suggest that the media silence was mandated (by whom?) for her feminist opinions. But she had no such opinions, she was born in another time (she was 98 y.o.) but yes, biologically, she was a female. If we can call a childless cat lady so. Look at that horrible cat.

(*) In my world, a Jewish woman with no children because of her lifestyle, is a failure.
