The murder of more than 1,000 Israelis should have been a political and social earthquake, a moment for foundational change, yet what has followed over nearly a year now is a pathological stasis. Nothing seems to shake the power of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his extreme-right allies, and at the same time trauma—a word heard constantly—has frozen in place what was a growing liberal political constituency, trapping an entire society at the opening of that fake tunnel, doomed to enter again and again.”
