It’s hard to believe that there is one question that makes all the difference

There’s a question, and please correct me if I’m wrong, that is not posed in Gaza to the suffering Gazans nor to any members in the Israeli Arab parties – Mansour Abbas, Achmad Tibi, or in the UN or The Democratim (our Left) or even in Haaretz,(Leeor Mehakel, Ofri Ilani) despite the never-ending wail about Arab injustice, e.g., from either Arabs or what we call our Israeli Left, why? No reporter working in Gaza, Amanpour, Francois Picard and our own Trump, the outside world of Media etc etc; certainly not Mamdani or even Edward Said as far as I know, said
“tell me, looking back do you regret not agreeing to the partition of Palestine in the 1947 UN vote? Do you think it might have been a mistake?” It is not asked of Jordan, Egypt, Qatar etc? Why avoided?

In my mind we have to know this before making our moves- it’s an answer every Jew is entitled to- we must close the gap between those still floating on abstractions….about human nature, ignorant of past politics and events and and reality….for at this moment we’re weak disparate groups fighting within about the answer and nothing more; for as told to me by too many Israelis, “if we said to them….we’ll give you everything else and we’ll just take Tel Aviv….they’d say No”. This is what the Likud says. The rest of us are asking how true this is ..Are there changes taking place among our opponents because of the costs of war? Ask! We have to Ask! And the answer must be YES, we’re tired of war.
