After the Pillar of Defense ceasefire, many now understand what we
understood after the Zo Artzeinu demonstrations: The Israeli crisis is
not on the continuum between Right and Left. It is on the continuum
between Israelis and their Jewish identity.
We knew exactly where the Oslo Accords would lead. The huge amount of people who answered Zo Artzeinu's calls and blocked traffic in the entire country understood the reality. Ultimately, we succeeded in electing the Right to rule - against all odds. But Zo Artzeinu refused to politically "cash in" on the tremendous public credit that it had accrued. We understood that the Right also had no solution and that it was also incapable of getting off the Oslo track.
Everyone is angry at Netanyahu now for agreeing to the ceasefire. But Netanyahu's predicament is a precise reflection of post-Oslo Israeli society. If Netanyahu had ordered a ground invasion of Gaza, soldiers would have been killed. After a short period of time, he would have pulled the troops out of Gaza without significant achievements.After all, he had no intention of remaining. The retreat after many more fatalities would have ignited much more virulent criticism.
