Can we really? In our name, horrors are committed, supposedly so that we would be able to “sleep well at night”. To have a “safe haven”, while others are uprooted from their homes, maimed and killed for protesting the injustice. We constantly downplay this horror, because looking it in the eye means not only scrutinizing Israeli policy, but its very existence as a “Jewish state”. It means to scrutinize Zionism, and so few want to do that. This is really what is looking at us through the fences at the Great March of Return. Sure, many want to frame it as “terrorist”, not because of the actions, but because of the notion – the notion of “return” is for Zionists synonymous with “destruction” and “denial of our right to exist” – as a “Jewish state”, that is. And Zionists love to be cynical about Palestinian rights. “Oh, how unrealistic”, they go. “Can’t they just accept their defeat?”. But this is not really a war as such. It’s an ethnic cleansing, it’s Apartheid – and you know what it’s all part of? Colonialism. Oh, let’s not pretend. Every Zionist knows deep in their hearts, that not only were the Palestinians expelled as an act of ethnic cleansing, but that the denial of their return is a present and active confirmation of that ethnic cleansing, which every Zionist is today and now an ideological active part of. To be a Zionist, is to be an ethnic cleanser. It’s a horrible logic, and probably offensive to most ‘liberal-Zionists’ because of its language, but that’s what it is. The ‘Jewish State’ is only an image. In reality it is the colonialist Apartheid genocidal state. And it proclaims itself as the representative of all Jews all over the world, existing for our behalf, as it were. http://mondoweiss.net/2018/05/after...398529965&mc_cid=1e04f55681&mc_eid=f3a5aceec7 I have been making some of these points over the last few days on the forum, of course this is greeted with the usual suspects calling me an antisemite, a jew hater and in one case as someone who has a real "racist problem". What has not been discussed are the real issues, Israel presents itself as the Jewish State, it was created by an act of ethnic cleansing, by denying the right of return to the Palestinians it affirms that ethnic cleansing. By pretending to represent all Jews it misrepresents many Jews like the author of this article who do not wish Israel to be an apartheid state. Last words go to the author, Oh, how Israel hates that mirror. Away with it! Who is the most beautiful of them all? And the most moral? Israel! Only Israel!
The only good Palestinian terrorist is a dead Palestinian terrorist. For the record, I am Catholic NOT Jewish. But I feel for the Jews having to endure this Palestinian hate and terrorism.
