...moment, that tide has drowned out the most vituperative antipeace zealots. Slogans denouncing Rabin, the Labor Party government and the peace plan have disappeared from Israeli auto bumpers, windows and walls. Some of the most militant Zionist groups hastened to condemn Rabin's assassin, Yigal Amir, and anyone who applauded his bloody act. The Council of Jewish Settlements in Judea, Samaria and Gaza even passed a resolution pledging to "silence those voices...
...native-born Israeli, I know that the Zionist project is far from complete. Previous generations have bequeathed us a strong and secure state. It is up to our generation to determine its character. The effort of elaborating and establishing Israel's character and essential values is difficult and complex, but it may yet prove the most important effort of all.

There was no altruistic or philosophic change of their minds...
Tadros's charge that Israelis and Jews around the world do not consider the plight of the Palestinians rings hollow. Leading thinkers like Amos Oz have helped build the Israeli consensus for peace by critiquing flaws in the Zionist dream. Yet just as the Israeli public must recognize its moral imperative to stay committed to peace, Palestinians must reject a path to self-determination which is bloodied with the death of the innocent. Where are the Palestinian voices of self-critique that must speak up against the radical brutality of groups like Hamas...
