Jewish Existence is Again on Probation.
(New Republic) Yossi Klein Halevi - In a recent interview, the liberal novelist Amos Oz confessed he's haunted by his father's observation that, before the Holocaust, European graffiti read, "JEWS TO PALESTINE," only to be transformed in our time into, "JEWS OUT OF PALESTINE." The message to Jews, noted Oz: "Don't be here and don't be there. That is, don't be." Israelis haven't felt so alone since the mid-'70s, when the United Nations declared that Zionism equaled racism.
