ISRAEL
>From Dan Perry in the Forward on what Israelis are thinking about in the October 27 election
The 2 ways to see Oct7 - and how they’ll influence the Israeli election: Was the massacre proof coexistence with Palestinians is impossible - or proof the Palestinian issue can no longer be ignored?
On October 7th, Israelis (and people across the world) who have long sought a peaceful accommodation, it was shocking to see the sheer joy of Hamas terrorists as they butchered families while filming their own barbarism, calling parents to brag, then dragging innocents into Gaza where crowds wildly cheered. But the real shock was the support for this in the West Bank and Gaza - polls showed 2/3 to 3/4s of Palestinians approved - suggesting coexistence is impossible. Rarely have polls been more devastating.
>Israeli Arabs Voted for Integration  (JNS) "The leaders of the Arab parties are highly rhetorical and sometimes stupid. They do not express the expectations and desires of a large part of Arab society....If the current Arab leadership says a lot of foolish things, that is wrong. They should stop seeking support by attacking Israel. Many Arabs want greater integration....Many believe that the Oct. 7 disaster was monstrous, and they have no problem saying that Hamas is a terrorist organization. It is so obvious."
