The Zionists and the Arabs

The idea of forgetting about some old idea like your jewish identity altogether and just becoming a random american guy named ben goldstein who watches the game and goes to work. This was something that suddenly was possible for the first time in jewish history. And on the other side, on the violent side, underneath the tolerant democratic and socialist regimes in central and eastern europe, both the depth of animosity and the capacity for grand scale, ultra violence were reaching levels unprecedented in the history of the world. A revolutionary regime like the zionists fighting for the non negotiables. That's what the arabs have to contend with.
