...intifadeh "has pushed Israeli society back in history to its Zionist ideological phase," says Benny Morris, a leading post-Zionist historian. "People are moving backward to a collectivist view."

They can count on Mitzna for that. As Prime Minister, he promises, he'd restart negotiations with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. If there was no peace agreement after a year of talks, he'd unilaterally withdraw from the entire Gaza Strip and evacuate the 7,000 Israeli settlers there. It's a sharp change from Ben-Eliezer, who as Sharon's Defense Minister oversaw massive military operations against the Palestinians...
