Israel's Self Defeating Strategy
By Ben Cohen
Professor of literature at Yale David Bromich gives a deadly accurate analysis of Israel's coming conundrum:
This deadlock in the middle of apparent victory was inevitable. You
cannot bomb a people into partnership. You cannot obliterate a people
into a just and lasting peace. You cannot drive deep into their
consciousness the knowledge that they are a defeated people and, when
you have finished your education through violence, come to treat them
as moral and political equals with yourself. So Israel is now at a
loss. It cannot see its beginnings in this vision of its triumph.
