"It had been sick for years; now it is dead"But every
Saturday comes to an end, with warmongers emerging from their Shabbat
lairs."
In Levy's afterword, composed when the number of
deaths was above 36,000 (Reports state the number as approaching
47,000.), he asked his fellow citizens to acknowledge what was going on
in Gaza in "their name" and to recognize the devolution of Israel's
moral character. Finally, in a paragraph of exhaustion, he asks, "What
gives us the right to do all this? Where does it come from? What is it
all for? Do we want to continue living like this?" He paints a picture
of the whole spectrum of Israelis, from left to right, permeated with a
poison that has infected their souls. He concludes, "Another war or two,
and everyone will be Kahane."
Levy believes that the multitude
of Israelis remain locked into their narratives of what he describes as
being "united in an eternal sense of victimhood." He calls on Israel "to
look inward, at long last, to see its own portrait."
