RT by @DaHammerstein: In April 1995, yes, that early, my father Amos Oz published this hyper-prophetic diagnosis in the @nytimes:
“These Hamas words [its vow to annihilate Israel] are a gift from heaven to Israel's extremist hawks, because they inflict despair on the Israeli public -- a loss of any hope of reaching a compromise.
These statements are also a gift because, while much harsher than all the mysticism spouted by the zealous right in Israel, they are not far removed from the Israeli hard line in engendering an atmosphere of religious, chauvinist egoism.
Hamas therefore should be seen as the most effective collaborator of the extreme right in Israel.”
The op ed was titled “The Hamas-Likud Connection”.
