While the first of these is somewhat true it is a simplification, the second is a

Amos Oz Remembered: The Sharp Talons of a Zionist “Dove”

It is wrong to speak ill of the dead. Amos Oz, however, was not a private man, not just an individual but an icon. He thrived and benefited greatly from his image as a Zionist, a patriot, and with that, a peace-loving man, a true “dove.” Oz was the icon of the culture of the colonizer.
