FOR MONTHS AFTER OCT. 7, 2023, THE WORLD was newly focused on Palestinians’ aspiration to a nation of their own, the nub of their long conflict with Israel. In the U.S., public sympathy toward Palestinians had already been growing over Israel’s decades-long military occupation of the Palestinian territories. That feeling climbed as the Gaza death toll grew to more than 41,000.
Now, a year since Hamas perpetrated the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, massacring 1,200 people and kidnapping 251, the world’s attention is back on Israel’s conflict with Iran—the contest that had earlier displaced the Palestinian question as the fulcrum of the Middle East. But the region is changing at the speed of missiles.
