And suddenly Israel is sinking into the Olmert Crisis.
I do not know how many remember the joy of the 20th anniversary of Israel.
In retrospect I can see it was ebullient with the hubris of the Six Day War, which would set Israel up for the shock of the Yom Kippur War. And it was that shock that destroyed the authority of the Labor Zionists which founded and built Israel, and brought to power the Revisionists who still rule.
Now there is a much more stage managed and carefully controlled celebration than that of 40 years ago.
But much less joyous.
Second Samuel, 6:14 |
