GAZA: an Omen

Every time I turn on the news, at least one notable talking head is babbling in search of reasons for Israel’s commando attack on the Free Gaza Flotilla, which left nine activists killed and dozens more wounded. But such experts who pride themselves on having high-level analytical skills find themselves unable to decipher Israel’s motives. The reason is that the Jewish State has reached a strategic dead-end, and its decisions and behavior will grow less and less comprehensible to the outside world, as a bunker mentality takes hold of its decision-makers and society.
