Israels paper of record, Haaretz, said that Without a revolution based on humanist values, the Jewish tribe will not be worthy of its own state.
Jewish hate of Arabs proves: Israel must undergo cultural revolution
Without a revolution based on humanist values, the Jewish tribe will not be worthy of its own state.
Abu Khdeirs murderers are not Jewish extremists. They are the descendants and builders of a culture of hate and vengeance that is nurtured and fertilized by the guides of the Jewish state: Those for whom every Arab is a bitter enemy, simply because they are Arab; those who were silent at the Beitar Jerusalem games when the teams fans shouted death to Arabs at Arab players; those who call for cleansing the state of its Arab minority, or at least to drive them out of the homes and cities of the Jews.
No less responsible for the murder are those who did not halt, with an iron hand, violence by Israeli soldiers against Palestinian civilians, and who failed to investigate complaints due to lack of public interest. The term Jewish extremists actually seems more appropriate for the small Jewish minority that is still horrified by these acts of violence and murder. But they too recognize, unfortunately, that they belong to a vengeful, vindictive Jewish tribe whose license to perpetrate horrors is based on the horrors that were done to it.

Is a cultural revolution possible or will Israel slip further into the abyss?

The abused becomes the abuser. Sadly this has more to do with economics than religion - this is about land and water theft.
