NYT: Soul-Searching in Israel After Bias Attacks on Gays and Arabs

I suspect most Israelis are not terribly bothered by bias attacks on gays and Arabs. Most Israelis, like most Americans, don’t particularly care for parading gays and Arabs. A healthy society cares most about building up and strengthening its core and does not care much about its minorities except that they conform to core norms.

Most Israelis wish that their enemies disappear just as many Americans wish wish their enemies disappear. Different groups have different interests. A healthy group cares primarily about its own health, not about “bias attacks.”

NYT: The back-to-back attacks a week ago, attributed to religious fanatics, set off a national outcry and reflection, with hundreds flocking here each night for a mixture of mourning and protest.
