Almost like a biblical plague, the Arab attack on Yom Kippur 1973 swept away the sweet, fat, confident years that followed the 1967 war. The Israelis, having failed to win decisively, were left with a sense of defeat. The indecisive outcome of the war also uncovered a number of festering problems that had been obscured by the post-1967 boom. In the past year, Israel...
