With attention on Gaza and the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, don’t forget: the future of the region lies in the West Bank. Extreme religious right-wing groups push for settlement expansion, while Israeli politicians and the public largely avoid confronting them. This is where the focus must be.

מה הבעיה בשיח הציבורי בישראל? הסכמים תמיד נתפסים כבחירה של ישראל. יש דיון, בעד ונגד, צריך לשכנע במטרות ובנחיצות, צריך להעביר בכנסת ובממשלה (נניח). מלחמה? היא תמיד מלחמת אין ברירה. היא נכפית עלינו. לא צריך לשכנע את הציבור שצריך לצאת למלחמה. לא צריך לשכנע שצריך להמשיך בה.
