Our Zionism Is Not One of Mass Displacement and Eternal War, It’s of Equality and Freedom.
The transfer of Palestinian residents of Gaza to a third country is an idea that is antithetical to Judaism and to Zionism. The American president is neither Jewish nor Zionist, but those of us who are must stand against it and ensure that it is not normalised in the Israeli discourse.
Chaos is the most comfortable environment for Benjamin Netanyahu, the best chance for him to continue consolidating his rule. The residents of Gaza will not disappear, not tomorrow and not in a decade.
The most important task now is to ensure that all the hostages return, immediately. Then we must build a real future for the current and future generations of Israelis whose home is here, whose identity is Jewish and democratic, and who proudly bear the values of equality and freedom.
Population transfer will never be part of their vocabulary, nor will eternal war. Because this is our Zionism.
