Rami Khoury on Israel’s ‘Permanent Sense Of Victimhood’

Rami Khoury thinks it’s all about framing the debate:

Israel wants the world to get tangled up in an endless debate about a few knives and clubs. The world wants Israel to come to grips with the more fundamental issue of whether a Jewish state respects the laws and norms that govern all humankind — or behaves only according to an increasingly hysterical, violent and often murderous sense of its own perpetual victimhood.

In general a good read if (as usual) a bit expansive. But he under-reports the existence of a debate inside Israel.
