Israel’s Vitality and Vulnerability. By Peter Berkowitz.

Israel’s Vitality and Vulnerability. By Peter Berkowitz. Real Clear Books, November 18, 2013.

Berkowitz:

An engaged citizenry is demanding that government ease the harshness of economic privatization and deal with sclerotic remnants of the original socialist economy. The left has not adequately reckoned with the collapse of the 1993 Oslo peace accords, failing to see that its critique of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, no matter how morally sensitive, does not imply that the Palestinians are willing or able to make peace.
