(Wall Street Journal) Michael B.

In the mid-1990s, after bus bombs in Israel killed dozens, an estimated 70,000 Palestinians filled a Gaza stadium to cheer a re-enactment of the massacre. For a majority of Israelis, the issue is whether a fundamentally sound society can trust one that has lost its mental and moral bearings.
