"It is not necessary to understand what "from the river to the sea" means, or even know which river and what sea, or wonder whether Gaza – which Israel had been striving to offer a better economic prospect before the war – needs "liberation" from anything beyond Hamas' brutal rule. This should be a source of concern for countries in the West in which the younger generation, including the leaders of the future, latch on to shallow images and values that are to a large extent anti-democratic.
The war in Gaza may have also posed intense and open questions as to the implications of migration and gradual demographic change. The positive vision of multi-culturalism, it appears now, can also serve at times to bring forth a fierce struggle over values, morality and the definition of the truth, posing for Western societies a political and social model different from what they were raised upon and not necessarily welcome."
