"a nation like all others"

The early Zionist had a dream, and it has come true. We've become "a nation like all others."

I just checked the news on ynet and read that:
Knife attacks continue to take place as four people are stabbed during incidents in central Israel over the weekend
and
Man in his 20s hospitalized after being shot in shoulder during argument over lane change

Now, is this really what they wanted?

Add to that sort of violence, the corrupt politicians and the police brutality in Amona .
