The Silent Death of the Israeli Left
The ideals are gone, but kindergartens are full.

Remember Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul.
During a ceasefire in the midst of the 2014 Gaza war, Hamas fighters ambushed an Israeli unit, killing the twenty-three-year-old officer Hadar Goldin. The terrorist group, knowing full well that the Jewish state will go to extreme lengths not only to free captured soldiers, but also to bring back the bodies of those killed in action, has since then held Goldin’s corpse hostage. On the occasion of Yom Hazikaron—Israel’s day of remembrance of those who have fallen in its wars—his twin brother and fellow officer Tzur Goldin recalls Hadar’s fate, along with that of Oron Shaul.
The ideals are gone, but kindergartens are full.
Remember Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul.
A great historian who saw through the conventional wisdom.
Stumbling into the great ditch.
