Another Jew has passed the Gaza test. And the more status you have, the more Karmic bonus points you get. Menschy internationalist Roger Cohen, in the New York Times even allows himself to hint that Zionism is over. He'll come to that in a couple years… Cohen:
The heroic Israeli narrative has run its course….
Yes, there has to
be a response to Hamas, but this is the wrong one.
It’s been
wrong since James Wolfensohn, the former World Bank president, saw his
attempts to get economic activity going in Gaza in 2005 thwarted by
border closure and “everything getting wasted.” It’s been wrong since
Hamas’s electoral victory in 2006 led to ostracism.
Israel has
the right to hit back at Hamas when attacked — but not to blow Gaza to
pieces. What it does not have the right to do is delude its people into
thinking that peace is achievable without coming to terms with the
deeply entrenched Middle Eastern realities that are Hamas and Hezbollah.
