Shachar Ilan is a voice in a wilderness of a Jewish society that never made Jewish healing or greater inner peace and peace between factions a primary objective. The government of Israel has always been about deals between parties who agree to forego challenging and being challenged on their basic principles and the effectiveness of those principle`s realization by the groups proclaiming them. What if Ben Gurion had made peace with Begin and HaRav Kuk with Judah Magnes, then we would have had peace with the Arabs through example instead of exhortation. And propose that their latter day disciples should now do the same and you will be viewed as a madman. If we have learned nothing it is because our teachers failed us.
