Since Israel’s founding, many here have been caught up in fantasies: If only the country would empty out of Arabs, we could live in safety; there’s no peace because there’s no partner; military control of the West Bank and a blockade of Gaza can be maintained without consequences; if we don’t look at the other side and don’t see what’s in the backyard, it won’t blow up in our faces; occupation does not corrupt, certainly not us; our wars are all wars of no choice; and of course – we’re not like them, we mustn’t be like them.
