Israelis don't care about peace. That's the conclusion Time magazine reporter Karl Vick would have us believe after quoting two Tel Aviv condo salesmen (and nobody else):

"The people," Heli says, "don't believe." Eli searches for a word. "People in Israel are indifferent," he decides. "They don't care if there's going to be war. They don't care if there's going to be peace. They don't care. They live in the day."

I'm guessing that Vick did talk to other Israelis — who were dropped from web site's abridged version. Time wants you to pay for the magazine or their iPad app to read the whole story. It's even noted at the bottom of the page that story's abridged. Fair enough.
