PATRICK LAWRENCE—Terrorist Israel is absolutely unserious about peace or a negotiated settlement of any kind with the Palestinian people regardless of who they, the Palestinians, choose to represent them. It is time for the international community to stop pretending otherwise—especially, but not only, by insisting that a two-state solution remains a real-world prospect. It follows that the Zionist regime is in fact, and until it demonstrates otherwise, dedicated to the extermination or expulsion of the Palestinian population in Gaza and the West Bank alike. Disbelief on this point is no longer excusable—if ever it has been.

BRUCE LERRO—Holistic thinking and analytic thinking each have their pros and cons. In holistic thinking, we have a wide, diffused lens. We see the forest but the trees are blurry. In analytical thinking we have tunnel vision. We see the detail of the trees, but miss the majesty of the forest. This attention to detail leads analytical thinkers to imagine that the whole of the forest is nothing more than an aggregate of individual trees. In holistic thinking the entire forest system is more than the sum of the trees.

PATRICK LAWRENCE—And then the case of Primo Levi, the famous survivor of the camps and author of, among other things, If This Be a Man, his account of his time at Auschwitz. A couple of years into the regime of Menachem Begin, who was not Israel’s first terrorist prime minister and not the last, Levi dismissed the Zionist project altogether. “The center of gravity of the Jewish world must turn back,” he wrote, “must move out of Israel and back into the diaspora.” He later told an American audience, “Israel was a mistake in historical terms.”
