The political conditions of the peoples themselves

Richard Koebner says history teaches that national independence was never successfully achieved by the defeats and tragedies of others (Yoram Hazony, The Jewish State, 2000; page 290). 

The problem with the bi-nationalists is that they defined the conditions of the others in terms of the interests of an oppressed people's rulers rather than in terms of the political conditions of the peoples themselves. While it is true that the indigenous peoples, except for those already degenerated by their own abominable servility, ought not to suffer defeat and tragedy for the sake of another people's independence, the mission of the Jewish people ought properly to be the change in consciousness of the leadership and the general populace of her adversaries. Those are the true teachings of the story of Israel's exodus from Egypt. 

Israel's right-wing doesn't care about the defeats and tragedies of her adversaries while the left-wing defines the national interests in terms of the ruling class.
