JL;DR SUMMARY Donniel Hartman reflects on the complexities of Israel's ongoing conflict over the past year, emphasizing Israel's military achievements while grappling with the war's moral and political implications. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.

"And now the decisions we make and on the way we talk about the war. Now I know. And as a result, I know that Zionism and the lovers of Israel have to start talking about this issue. Civilian casualties cannot be the moral issue of the critics of Zionism and of our enemies. It has to be an internal discourse within the Zionist community. We have to talk about it. We have to struggle about it. We have to talk about when a just war ceases being a just war. I now know that this issue is not only critical for our relationship with our friends around the world, with our friends in governments in North America and in Europe in particular."
