We face two obstacles. First, most critical Jews like Beinart still cling to Zionism, and therefore cannot imagine a decolonized political reality in which Israeli Jews relinquish their privileges and become part of a broader democracy of equal citizens. Second, even anti-Zionist Jews like the JVP people have nowhere to go politically, since we anti-Zionist Israelis and Palestinians have not yet presented a viable, just, and compelling political program that leads them somewhere new and good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The One Democratic State Campaign (ODSC), in which I am involved, is attempting to provide that program and political leadership. But we are still in the early stages; neither Beinart nor JVP are yet aware of our growing presence. That will change over time. But a harder problem is how we can engage with Jews abroad \u2013 and as well as the Israeli Jewish public in general &#8212; who understand that radical change must happen but who are afraid for Israeli Jews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The piece I wrote is an attempt to communicate without alienating or frightening them. I try to use the language of my audience to move them towards a more critical understanding, realizing that paradigm change can be threatening. It&#8217;s an experiment. I use language I normally wouldn&#8217;t &#8212; certainly not language my Palestinian comrades would use &#8212; but we must find ways of reaching potentially convincible audiences without watering down our message. If we aspire to be political actors, we must learn to engage with those (the vast majority) beyond our circle of friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if I succeeded. Feedback is welcome &#8212; positive or (hopefully constructive) critical.\u201d Contact:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:jeff@icahd.org\">jeff@icahd.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peter Beinart Doesn&#8217;t Go Far Enough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Liberal Zionists are belatedly waking up to the only just alternative: a single state, shared by Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs. But if Israeli Jews won\u2019t endorse a one state solution, will they have to be dragged unwillingly into it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not annexation actually happens, it has already had far-reaching effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has forced liberal Zionists like Peter Beinart and Gershon Baskin, pro-Israel figures like Boris Johnson and Angela Merkel, and even some Israelis \u2013 albeit mainly readers of&nbsp;Haaretz&nbsp;\u2013 to confront the political and moral flaw at the heart of Zionism: its inability to reconcile Jewish national rights and Zionism\u2019s exclusive claim to the Land of Israel, with the national rights and existence of the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This inherent conflict was evident and recognized from the very first days of Zionism. The essayist Ahad Ha-am wrote about it. As a member of Brit Shalom, Arthur Ruppin, the head of the Palestine Office of the World Zionist Organization, supported a bi-national state. Jabotinsky confronted it in his famous &#8221;Iron Wall&#8221; doctrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in 1942, when the intention to establish a Jewish state (and not merely a &#8221;national home&#8221;) was finally admitted, Ben-Gurion himself said plainly: &#8221;[This is a] decision based on force, a Jewish military decision\u2026We want the Land of Israel in its entirety. That was the original intention.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the idea of &#8221;transfer&#8221; was in the air decades before the right-wing&nbsp;racist Meir Kahane and his followers&nbsp;arrived on the scene&nbsp;in the 1970s.&nbsp;Yosef Weitz, the Director of the Jewish National Fund\u2019s Land Settlement Department and an architect of &#8221;Judaizing&#8221; Palestine, wrote in 1948: &#8221;It must be clear that there is no room in the country for both peoples\u2026The only solution is a Land of Israel without Arabs\u2026There is no way but to transfer the Arabs from here to the neighboring countries, to transfer all of them, perhaps with the exception of Bethlehem, Nazareth and the old Jerusalem. Not one village must be left, not one tribe.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1967 the two-state solution played a key role in covering over this inherent, unavoidable and finally fatal flaw. As a tool of conflict management, it held out the illusion that Jewish claims to the Land of Israel and Palestinian claims to Palestine could somehow be reconciled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We accept the &#8221;notion&#8221; of two states, we keep the illusion of &#8221;two sides&#8221; alive by creating a collaborationist Palestinian Authority, we negotiate (or not) forever, and in this way we avoid having to deal with the underlying reality that Zionism has set up a zero-sum game: either &#8221;we&#8221; win or &#8221;they&#8221; do. And in the midst of the stalemate we continue the 125-year Judaization of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annexation did not expose the illusion \u2013 any informed person knew it existed \u2013 but rather made it impossible to sustain. The two-state solution rested on the notion of &#8221;occupation.&#8221; This implies that a country has taken control of a territory that does not belong to it and must be prepared to negotiate its final status, which may or may not result in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/misc\/tags\/TAG-Annexation-1.8854038\">annexation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International law does not permit unilateral annexation. For this reason Israel has always rejected the idea that it even has an occupation \u2013 it prefers to speak of &#8221;disputed territories,&#8221; a concept with no legal legitimacy \u2013 and therefore has never applied the Fourth Geneva Convention which prevents settlement, harming the local population and, of course, annexation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever the master in legal manipulation, Israel\u2019s current government therefore rejects the term &#8221;annexation,&#8221; speaking instead of \u201cextending Israel\u2019s sovereignty.\u201d Whatever it\u2019s called, Israel\u2019s intention of incorporating 30 percent of the West Bank makes it impossible to sustain the two-state illusion anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so the anguish of liberal Zionists. Where do we go from here? Peter Beinart has raised the possibility of a bi-national state in a New York Times&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/07\/08\/opinion\/israel-annexation-two-state-solution.html\">op-ed<\/a>&nbsp;and a longer Jewish Currents&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jewishcurrents.org\/yavne-a-jewish-case-for-equality-in-israel-palestine\/\">essay<\/a>. &#8221;Now Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to annex parts of the land that Israel has brutally and undemocratically controlled for decades. And watching all this unfold, I have begun to wonder, for the first time in my life, whether the price of a state that favors Jews over Palestinians is too high,&#8221; he writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221;The painful truth is that the project to which liberal Zionists like myself have devoted ourselves for decades \u2014 a state for Palestinians separated from a state for Jews \u2014 has failed. The traditional two-state solution no longer offers a compelling alternative to Israel\u2019s current path. It is time for liberal Zionists to abandon the goal of Jewish \u2013Palestinian separation and embrace the goal of Jewish\u2013Palestinian equality.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gershon Baskin, another leading voice of liberal Zionism and a columnist for&nbsp;The Jerusalem Post, recently published&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gershonbaskin.org\/insights\/the-search-for-a-new-vision-for-israeli-palestinian-peace\/\">a piece<\/a>&nbsp;entitled &#8221;Israel and Palestinians Must Join Forces in Creating a New Shared Vision.&#8221; That shared vision means a single state shared by Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A single state&nbsp;is the only alternative to what exists today,&nbsp;and what annexation plainly offers for the future: apartheid. Some have suggested confederation, but that fails for the same reason the two-state solution does, Israel is simply unwilling to provide the Palestinians with any meaningful political or economic space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are Israelis and Palestinians who are giving Beinart, Baskin and, indeed, Israel itself, somewhere to go. The One Democratic State Campaign has formulated a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/onestatecampaign.org\/all\/en-manifesto\/\">political program<\/a>&nbsp;that calls for a single democracy of equal rights, the homecoming of the refugees and the emergence of a shared civil society. It goes even further, recognizing that Zionism and Palestinian nationalism can co-exist within a pluralistic democracy \u2013 and both may eventually transform into something new, shared and vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Israeli Jews buy into it? No, of course not. Why would they? To such a degree do they enjoy the benefits of an apartheid regime, that the occupation and Palestinian rights have been reduced to a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The refusal of most whites in South Africa to willingly dismantle apartheid resembles that of Israeli Jews. So Palestinians and the few Israeli partners that share the vision of a shared society must take a leaf from the ANC playbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the ANC, we must create a direct link between the international public, for whom Palestinian rights is a major issue (including among a growing proportion of young Jews), and our one-state movement. In that way we render Israeli apartheid unsustainable, as the ANC did in South Africa, finally bringing the Israelis into the transition process when they have no choice but to cooperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The struggle for a single state, for justice, should be seen as a challenge to all of us, not as a threat. South Africans, the Northern Irish, Black and white Americans in Mississippi and many other peoples once locked in seemingly endless conflict discovered that when issues of inequality and justice are addressed, their \u201cirresolvable\u201d differences become manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beinart, a die-heart Zionist to this day, reaches the only conclusion possible. &#8221;It\u2019s time,&#8221; he says, &#8221;to envision a Jewish home that is a Palestinian home, too.&#8221; Zionism\u2019s very purpose was to restore our self-determination. Well, here\u2019s the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are we going to become actors in creating a state for all of us living in this country, in which we enjoy both democratic rights and, within that framework, a national life in our country shared with others, or will we have to be dragged unwillingly into it? In my view, and maybe Beinart\u2019s, the former is the &#8221;Zionist&#8221; answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Image: Tonygers | Dreamstime.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link to the article: <a href=\"https:\/\/icahd.org\/2020\/07\/13\/peter-beinart-doesnt-go-far-enough-jeff-halper-13-july-2020\/\">https:\/\/icahd.org\/2020\/07\/13\/peter-beinart-doesnt-go-far-enough-jeff-halper-13-july-2020\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted on July 13, 2020, by&nbsp;ICAHD UK ICAHD\u2019s Jeff Halper has had an opinion piece published in the Israeli newspaper Ha&#8217;aretz, in response to the brouhaha generated by Peter Beinart&#8217;s two articles: &#8221;Yavne: A Jewish Case for Equality in Israel-Palestine,&#8221; published in Jewish Currents, and &#8221;I No Longer Believe in a Jewish State,&#8221; published in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":14794,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"zakra_page_container_layout":"customizer","zakra_page_sidebar_layout":"customizer","zakra_remove_content_margin":false,"zakra_sidebar":"customizer","zakra_transparent_header":"0","zakra_logo":0,"zakra_main_header_style":"default","zakra_menu_item_color":"","zakra_menu_item_hover_color":"","zakra_menu_item_active_color":"","zakra_menu_active_style":"","zakra_page_header":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[155,29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kannanotot","category-uutiset"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
