Tikun Olam-תקון עולם: Make the World a Better Place

H/t to Angry Arab for noting this screamingly dissonant passage in a profile of Mossad chief, Meir Dagan in Dubai’s The National:

His ruthless reputation is at odds with his personal demeanour. In private time he likes to listen to classical music, or drive his Jeep to commune with nature, sucking contemplatively on his pipe.

He is a vegetarian, a predilection Dagan concedes some might find surprising given his battlefield reputation.

Can you imagine this buzzard sitting in the lotus position doing yoga to “wind down” from the pressures of a stressful job?  I can almost imagine him driving those winding roads up the Golan to Har Harmon the wind blowing through his hair (oops, I think he’s bald!).  Nature awaits at the end of his journey.

The part about being a vegetarian is a scream.  I’d have thought he’d want to consume part of al-Mabouh’s body in the way that cannibals eat their rivals to assume their power.  Sorry for being so ghoulish, but how can’t you be given what the Mossad has been up to lately?
