Israel must consider its future as it loses the narrative - opinion

It is a question of national identity and thinking about who we are and what we want to be, while appreciating where we once were and where we are now today.

ISRAEL DOES need to figure out what type of country it wants to be but to do that it needs to be able to tell a compelling story to itself and to the world. As of now, everyone seems to have lost the plot.
