What if the left abandoned Israel?
What kind of country would Israel become without the Gideon Levys, Akiva Eldars, Leonard Fines, Jacob Arnold Wolfs, Dror Etkeses, David Shulmans, Shaul Arielis, and Peter Beinarts?

The Crisis of Zionism, by Peter Beinart
In ‘The Crisis of Zionism, Peter Beinart traces the history of Zionism to show how a once liberal movement came to be affiliated with conservative politics and antidemocratic policies, splitting the American Jewish community into two hostile camps. He then shows how this division came to be personified on the world stage by the two leaders at the center of the crisis today: Barack Obama, who Beinart calls America’s first ‘Jewish president,’ and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister who considers liberalism the Jewish people’s special curse.
