This is only an excerpt from the full interview. Even the excerpt is worth a read though. Grossman is an Israeli writer who manages to combine a powerful and ongoing activism for peace and justice for Palestinians, a strong and unapologetic sense of Israel's Jewish, Zionist, and historical distrinctiveness, and a genuinely poetic sensibility. His son Uri, a tank commander, was killed in the summer-before-last's fighting in Lebanon. Themes of the interview overlap strikingly with Appleby's work, I think.

I basically am clipping this because I read it and want to remember it, but I think Lazare gets it completely wrong. Not only is his attitude towards religion in general misguided, he doesn't understand history.
