In Memoriam: Tanya Reinhart
\nTribute, The Electronic Intifada<\/em>, 19 March 2007<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday, 17 March 2007, Israeli linguist and activist Tanya Reinhart passed away in New York at the age of 63. Tanya’s was a vital and rare Israeli voice that never wavered when it came to criticizing Israel’s systematic violations of Palestinians’ rights, including making a professional sacrifice by contributing to the discourse over the academic boycott of Israel. The following article, penned by Tanya and published by EI on 25 May 2005, reminds us what a void she leaves behind.

Shimon Tzabar, another sad loss<\/strong>
\nNew Profile<\/em>, 20 March 2007<\/a><\/p>\n

With great sadness I must report the death of my dear friend Shimon Tzabar — artist, poet, writer, political satirist and revolutionary.<\/p>\n

I (together with other friends and members of his family, including his companion Judit Druks) witnessed his death at 21:06 earlier this evening (19 March). He was 81 years old. He died of pulmonary complications of a heart condition.<\/p>\n

Condolences to: Judit Druks j.druks@ucl.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Best wishes,<\/p>\n

Moshe’ Machover <\/p>\n

Shimon Tzabar<\/strong><\/p>\n

Intensive Care<\/strong><\/p>\n

My heart beats too slow.<\/p>\n

My heart beats too fast.<\/p>\n

My heart doesn?t beat middling ?<\/p>\n

middling as life,<\/p>\n

middling as the blood streams,<\/p>\n

middling as the joy that flows,<\/p>\n

as oxygen that goes in and out.<\/p>\n

Middling is what it ought to be<\/p>\n

in order to survive in good company,<\/p>\n

to raise children.<\/p>\n

My heart doesn’t want to beat middling.<\/p>\n

My heart wants to fly to the end of the world<\/p>\n

like a bird.<\/p>\n

My heart wants to swim under water<\/p>\n

like a fish.<\/p>\n

My heart is crazy, crazy and mad.<\/p>\n

My heart dreams adventure impossible to realize.<\/p>\n

My heart has a screw loose in its head.<\/p>\n
