Is a sad fact that many so-called “progressives” on the broad and far left of British politics oppose the two-state solution, and seek the dissolution of the Jewish state into a singular secular Palestine where Jews would be a minority. This POV is being increasingly voiced among respectable circles on the grounds that Israel is a historical injustice, a racist colonialist “apartheid” construct, and theft of indigenous Palestinian land by “alien” European and American Jews; a view shared and promulgated by a relatively small but increasingly vocal number of Jewish anti-Zionist academics and public figures – whose access to the media and subsequent influence – is out of all proportion to their numbers and to the validity of their views
There are many of us who are anti-Zionist, who *know* that Palestinian land was stolen by alien European and American jews with the collusion of the British government and yet want peace so much that we are willing to go for a two-state solution with peaceful co-existence. Your comment suggests that those who hold these views must necessarily support the dissolution of the state of Israel – or that such views are somehow irrational. While we can disagree on historical ‘facts’ the true miracle of peacemaking is being able to agree on the future despite differences of opinion about the past.
