Translated from HebrewFania Oz-Salzberger | For a pragmatic Zionism - K. The Jews, Europe, the 21st century
Translated from FrenchShould have been done decades ago. For the Palestinians’ sake, and, not least, for Israel’s sake.
“Fania Oz-Salzberger has written that Israel now requires “moral and political reconstruction” for which Israelis must “assume full responsibility”. Responsibility is the vital word. It does not mean abandoning Israel, feeling shame at Jewish sovereignty or wishing ourselves back into powerlessness. It means accepting responsibility for what is done with Jewish power and in the name of Jewish security. The Zionism we want to inhabit is one strong enough to confront dispossession rather than provide moral cover for it; one able to hear Palestinian vulnerability without denying Jewish vulnerability(…)” Strong words from Rabbi Charley Baginsky and Rabbi Josh Levy.

Today’s UN may rather forget, but we remember. Both Palestinians and Israel need a wise and sensitive world leadership. May your memory be a blessing, Kofi Annan. https://t.co/pf1dkiYHsX
To the one who asked me why the opposition leaders did not come to Kusra already at the beginning of the current round of Jewish violence.
Translated from HebrewCommenters: such atrocities must be exposed for what they are, a sickening departure from both Judaism and humanity, as my father already knew 3 decades ago. But I will block any idiot abusing this post by demonizing all Jews, all Israelis, or conversely all Palestinians. You shall not pass.
"A messianic, obtuse and cruel sect, an armed mob of gangsters, criminals against humanity, sadists, pogromists and murderers, who emerged from a dark corner of Judaism, from the cellars of depravity and filth, in order to impose a bloodthirsty and insane cult." Amos Oz, “In the name of love and peace” Speech delivered at a Peace Now rally in Tel Aviv, 1989
Middle East conflict: Fania Oz-Salzberger / Israel is strong only with a liberal core
Translated from German“The account is still unsettled”: My father’s speeches, in German translation. They anticipate the recent catastrophes of Israel and the Palestinians—and at the same time show a path to hope.
