The Israel that used to exist is gone. It many ways, it was always more myth than reality and this is more a dropping of pretext than a fundamental change. But the dropping of pretext is still a significant step. Yet, in this country, people are tripping over each other to enforce a “no-criticism” rule for Israel. I don’t think this is an accident. As long as we’re talking about the meaning of “allegiance,” we’re not talking about who Netanyahu is aligning with politically or that he just announced that Israel isn’t really a country for its Arab citizens.
