Does the quaint and obsolete ethos of the kibbutz have anything to offer to contemporary Israel?

We commemorated the 30th anniversary of Yitzhak Rabin's murder this week. I took special comfort in the remarks of Prof. Effie Shoham at a Jerusalem ceremony

Here's a second clip excerpted from a speech the late writer Amos Oz gave to the INSS in 2015, setting out Israel's future if it continued on its then-current path.

How was Amos Oz able to describe so precisely and vividly nine years ago what Israel would be going through today? And where did he see us ending up tomorrow?

If it were a novel, we would call @SuleimanMas1 (Suleiman Maswadeh's) story and meteoric rise not credible. He told it recently to @kann_news Roni Kuban.

@sfardm You are right, Michael. Yair Lapid is almost as smooth and fluent a talker as Mr. Netanyahu, but like him (in part), he adopts his positions from the numbers he receives from the pollsters, and he has no obvious vision for leading Israel out of the morass it is in.
@MarinaMedvin Whether or not it was magnanimous of Israel to defend what it claims as its own territory, your clip actually shows the Dome of the Rock, not Al-Aqsa Mosque, although Muslims think of the entire compound -- what Jews call the Temple Mount -- as Al-Aqsa.
@ShibleyTelhami Read this and weep, and then read the original essay, which was so offensive it needed to be disappeared, and weep again, this time in gratitude and empathy.
