\u201cI DON\u2019T care about fairness or justice,\u201d shouted Ami Ayalon<\/a>, the then Chair of the Board of Trustees of Haifa University. His angry outburst was directed at me for asking him (and Israel) to consider \u201cPalestinians\u2019 right of return\u201d as a step towards peace in the Un-Holly Land.<\/p>\n

The year was 2010.<\/p>\n

We were at a private fundraiser for yet another center for Palestine Studies (by an Israeli academic-security complex) at this very posh hotel right on Duke of Wellington Square at Knightsbridge, co-hosted by my former friend, Bob Amsterdam<\/a>, the well-known personal lawyer for the deposed Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatara, exiled in Dubai.<\/p>\n

The exchange was inside this ornate private dining room, and I was seated diagonally at the long beautiful dinner table, to the Guest of Honour who had just finished giving his brief update on the state of affairs in Israel, particularly about what Netanayu\u2019s re-election, if he was re-elected, meant for the future of Israel. On my left was a CEO of Rio Tinto who was telling me about one British Ambassador who joined his company as Vice President for Government Affairs.<\/p>\n

Alas, I could well-imagine the revolving door among the world of rich Zionists, Her Majesty\u2019s diplomats, the Ivory Tower and Israeli killers.<\/p>\n

To belabour the obvious, I am not in this league of power-money-state nexus.<\/p>\n

Until that moment, I never had any interaction with any Israelis except a few Israeli backpackers in their 20\u2019s who, in the mid-1980\u2019s, came to Burma or Myanmar, for pleasure after their mandatory IDF (or Israeli Occupation Force) assignments in the Occupied Palestine. I was in my early 20\u2019s, I was, after college, working as a tour guide and a managerial staff for Tourist Burma, the sole tourist agency run by the Ministry of Commerce during the isolationist, pseudo-socialist years of General Ne Win. They distiniguished themselves as really rude and obnoxious.<\/p>\n

On one occasion, they were so rude that I intentionally breached our guiding ethos – \u201cCustomer is always right\u201d – which I learned during my training as a guide. And I ended up telling one Israeli tourist, \u201cFuck off! Don\u2019t ever come back to my country!\u201d<\/p>\n

And my close encounter with the retired Admiral Ayalon was just as stomach-turning and completely accidental. He is considered \u201ca smarter\/saner one\u201d, as my Palestinian friend in Ramallah put it when I was with him in the Occupied Palestine.<\/p>\n
