Awake Goy I’d love to agree with you, Phil, but unfortunately I can’t.
In fact, I think the opposite is much more likely. Far from belatedly realising the error of their ways, the current ‘cycle of violence’ is much more likely to encourage ”liberal” Zionists to drop the mask, and come out as what the majority of them really are – hard-core anti-Palestinians. When the chips are down, Israelis always circle the wagons – remember that upwards of 95% of Israelis supported the Gaza massacre, just as they have supported (tacitly or otherwise) all of Israel’s wars, sieges and occupations.
While the likes of NYT and Jonathan Freedland would like to think that ‘violence’ causes ‘soul searching’ among Israelis, in reality it unleashes the inner beast of Zionism. Deep down – or not so deep down – the majority of Israeli Jews seem incapable of thinking that anyone other than themselves can be a victim. And so, when a small number of their own tribe are indeed victims – though, as always, way outnumbered by innocent Palestinian victims – this only reinforces the sense of paranoia inherent within Zionism.
Sadly, things are going to get worse – perhaps much worse – before they get better. And history has shown us that there is no point whatsoever to waiting around for ”liberal Zionists” to see the light, because it just isn’t going to happen.
