Some Israeli army units now celebrate their graduation after basic training under a night sky ablaze with Hebrew characters that say MASADA SHALL NOT FALL AGAIN. Israelis live under constant strain. Graceful manners are not yet a national accomplishment. Israelis' driving is not civilized, although it is not as bad as that in either Boston or Brussels. These days it seems difficult to find Israelis laughing. The soldiers do not smile when they...
