“We know how to fight again, how to show this is our future,” said Malkiel Bar-Hai, 18, who came from his home in the Golan Heights after his friend sent him a text message saying they were looking for more volunteers.

His face, sweaty and dusty, stiffens as he talks about the recent violence. “We bring it onto ourselves if we act as if this is not our land, like somebody is doing us a favor to let us be here,” he said. “Now we know that if we leave, they still hate us and attack us.”


One must admit he has a point.

I love how the only Israeli analyst the NYT could find is Akiva Eldar. That's like an Israeli paper looking for an analyst of the American political scene and finding only Frank Rich to ask. Rather to the left, shall we say. But if he acknowledges the regrouping of the right after the calamatous loss of Arik Sharon, it must be so. That's the real issue, if unmentioned. I bet Arik Sharon had a plan to collect more diplomatic benefits for what he knew perfectly well was going to be a loss on the ground.
