I'm surprised you think so highly of Gordis' piece. It represents an old mode of thinking to me. One that will not advance the goal of peace bet. Israel & her neighbors.
The Lebanon war is troubling to Israelis I have no doubt. But the answer is not to hunker down & prepare for the worst. It's to open up to new ideas & compromises for peace.
I don't think he had any answers - but I do think Hizbollah and some of the others mentioned think as he wrote. I also like his style of writing. I try to always look on the positive side, but sometimes the conflict wears me down. And I still firmly believe that if Hizbollah and others like them, get together with us for a Sulha or got to know any Israelis personally.....they'd be less likely to continue this idiotic conflict. And so would we.
