"In a rare moment of bliss, Israel's decency overcame Israel's brutality, and Palestinian realism overcame Palestinian extremism." A rather loaded dichotomy. Vaccillating between decency and brutality seems far more damning than vaccillating between realism and extremism. The former is about behavior and includes a highly negative descriptor; the latter is about emotion and far more neutral.
