Joyless in Zion
Weiss, Philip
http://mondoweiss.net/2018/05/joyless-in-zion/Date Written: 2018-05-30 Publisher: Mondoweiss Year Published: 2018 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX22497 Israel is held in contempt by much of the western world, and Israelis know it even as they get down to the hard business of shooting border-crossers. The New York Times did a piece suggesting that Israelis have a conscience about the violence they poured forth at the Gaza border, and they hope that it was the right thing to do. But Gideon Levy says they have lost their conscience; and that was my impression too from interviewing Israeli Jews in West Jerusalem. I talked to 20 people. Every one expressed support for the killings. There was simply no dissent. Subject Headings |
