I fully agree. My time of “it’s complicated” and “there’s 2 sides to this story” is behind me after seeing how Israel was actually founded on a bed of terrorism and massacres. That’s the only positive side effect of the current genocide. It was so brutal and yet so denied as if the sky is still blue, that it forced anyone with a good conscience to have a deeper look into the current situation and the history.
No, I don’t hate jews. No, I don’t hate Israelis.
No one chooses where they are born.
But yes, I do call for the dismantling and removal of the terrorist state of Israel. That’s is not a call to kill all jews or Israelis. It is a simple statement of fact that Israel as a state has no legitimacy and is the only obstacle to peace and progress. The only other path would be to complete the genocide: if there are no Palestinians any more, then the ongoing conflict would be removed too … in a totally unacceptable way but washed out by time eventually.
No more of this. None of it. Not with silent agreement or tolerance. No means mo and I want my government to grow some balls and to stand up.
Israel is not a pinnacle of light. If anything it shows us how seeing yourself as pinnacle of light, rising above others, allows you to look down on others and dehumanize them as lessers, as fellow humans.
It is that very same supremacy that enabled Nazi Germany to do what it did. Oh the f’ing irony.
Talking to several of our Jewish friends in the past few months it is clear that they all agree with you to a greater or lesser extent. Some still have to deal with hangovers from their youth, when their parents were strong supporters of Israel's right to exist, no matter what. Some have been influenced by their young days spending time on a kibbutz. My husband and I spent time in Israel in 1993 immediately after it was announced that Arafat was moving to Jericho after the peace talks. Even then, we witnessed first hand the casual racism and the downright appalling treatment of Palestinians and a couple of times were threated with guns pointed at us by swaggering young soldiers, for 'fraternising with the Arabs'.
There is no doubt the current Israeli government is nothing but evil and in the main people outside the country want them gone. The question is how to persuade more than 50% in Israel to vote that way in the next election?

Thanks Veronica for shining the light on Israel.
