Podcast appearances and mentions of oliver holmes

Oliver Holmes, the Guardian’s Jerusalem correspondent, talks to Rachel Humphreys about the violence that has broken out between Israel and Palestine. In recent weeks there has been a sharp escalation in anger over Israel’s half-century occupation, its ever-deepening military grip over Palestinian life and a wave of evictions and demolitions. Israel’s political leaders have said violent street clashes between Jews and Arabs inside the country pose a bigger threat than the escalating military conflict with Gaza. Despite international calls for calm, there are fears that Israel and Palestine are on the verge of another war.

Oliver Holmes, the Guardian’s Jerusalem correspondent, discusses what has prompted the worst unrest in Israel and Palestine since 2014. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

O Brasil está envelhecendo, eu estou envelhecendo, você que me ouve está envelhecendo e isso é maravilhoso, porque a única chance de viver muito é envelhecer. Envelhecer é como escalar uma grande montanha: enquanto escala, as forças diminuem, mas o olhar é mais livre, a visão mais ampla e mais serena. Para refletirmos sobre isso, separei alguns pensamentos de gente brilhante, como Montaigne. Disse ele: "as rugas do espírito nos fazem mais velhos que as do rosto". Já Shakespeare falou: "os velhos desconfiam dos jovens porque já foram jovens." E esta é de Picasso: "quando me dizem que estou velho demais para fazer alguma coisa, tento fazer mais rápido." Oliver Holmes afirmou: "o jovem conhece as regras, mas o velho conhece as exceções." Na juventude aprendemos, na velhice compreendemos. A verdade é que a velhice começa quando a memória é mais forte que a esperança. E me lembro de uma frase de Cícero: "o velho não pode fazer tudo o que um jovem faz, mas faz melhor." Já um provérbio alemão enaltece que "as árvores mais antigas dão os frutos mais doces." Sófocles sabiamente afirmou que "aqueles que mais amam a vida são aqueles que estão envelhecendo." O tempo tem mais valor. E eu cheguei à conclusão que quando você é velho na carne, tem que ser jovem na alma, pois um homem não envelhece quando sua pele enruga, mas quando seus sonhos e esperanças se encolhem. Por fim, velho é aquele que se deita sem esperança e se levanta sem objetivos.
