IN THE LAND OF OZ: "In a recent interview, the liberal novelist Amos Oz confessed he's haunted by his father's observation that, before the Holocaust, European graffiti read, 'JEWS TO PALESTINE,' only to be transformed in our time into, 'JEWS OUT OF PALESTINE.' The message to Jews, noted Oz: 'Don't be here and don't be there. That is, don't be.'" - Yossi Klein Halevi, in an excellent peace in The New Republic on the deep cultural divisions within Israel.
