I would say with hindsight that the killing of Yitzhak Rabin marks the demise of progressive zionism, as well as the early  end of the hopes raised by the Oslo agreements. In my opinion resurrection is impossible. I think that Labor and Meretz should consider seriously a refoundation based on a serious revision of the zionist dogma.

Indeed. There was a last moment of hope in 2001 with the Taba summit, but it was like the Battle of Gettysburg, the gasp of a dying process started back in 1977 when Anwar Sadat visited Israel, or even earlier when Soviet advisers were kicked out of Egypt in 1972 at the behest of Henry Kissinger.

The Israeli left hasn't won an election since 1998. I remember in the 2008 campaign when liberals were holding up that Livni woman as their answer to Sarah Palin.
