Israel Has Lost Its Moral Imagination
There is reason for Israelis, and for Jews generally, to think long and hard about the dark Hitler era at this particular time. The significance of the Gaza Flotilla incident lies in the larger questions raised about our common human condition by Israel’s occupation policies and its devastation of Gaza's civilian population. If a people who so recently experienced on its own flesh such unspeakable inhumanities cannot muster the moral imagination to understand the injustice and suffering that its territorial ambitions -- and even its legitimate security concerns -- are inflicting on another people, what hope is there for the rest of us?
