Footnotes In Gaza: Versions II

Joe Sacco, Footnotes In Gaza, p. 301.

These quotes lead in to the The Legend Of The Doves. We are not told what happened after the intervention of this foreign officer.

We also read some interesting views at the beginning of the Iraq War:

"Saddam will be victorious.
"The entire Arab world and the whole world in general will change owing to the American defeat." (p. 369)

"Saddam Hussein 100 per cent!" (p. 371)

However, Khaled, wanted by the Israelis, says:

"It's not a matter of victory.
"It's a matter of resisting to the end." (ibid.)

Sacco calls Khaled's view philosophical, stripped of illusion and self-reflective.
