Israel is a brand name for an entity that has no internationally recognized borders and has been in a constant state of war since before its founding.
The problem isn’t Hamas, the Palestinians, or the Arabs in general. The problem is the ideology that animates every decision Israel makes: Zionism. Violent resistance, no matter how abhorrent people might think it is, is a reaction to the implementation of the Zionist ideology.
Most observers believe that Zionism sought to create a safe space for Jews, and therefore believe it may have been a reasonable movement at one point because of the persecution of Jews.
That is pure Zionist propaganda. If that were the case, why didn’t the Zionists accept the Uganda plan at the first Zionist convention?
The truth is that Zionists needed the Holy Land in order to legitimize their goal: To transform Jews from a pacifist religious group awaiting a supernatural mega event into an anti-religious European-style nationalist movement that used Judaism as a mythology.
This transformation required the invention of a completely new “Hebrew” culture, a modern “Hebrew” language, a flag, and the conquest of land which happens to be inhabited.
That’s why Israel has been and still is constantly at war with Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Syrians and Lebanese.
The Palestinian resistance is not fighting against Israel because Zionists claim to be Jews. They would fight any occupier, no matter what religion or nationality.
The peace process is a farce and only goes on because the U.S. props up corrupt regimes to be subservient to Israel with huge amounts of money.
Ironically, the peace process has radicalized Israeli society. That’s why they killed their own prime minister.
The way to make peace is to reject Zionism and the claim that Israel is a “Jewish state.”
Once the ideology of Zionism, which inherently affords Jews (as falsely defined by the Israeli government) supremacy is discarded, then Israelis and Palestinians can make peace.
Don’t let Zionists and their supporters gaslight you with claims that criticizing Israel is anti-Semitic. It’s the opposite. Israel’s actions, while claiming to be the state of the Jews, generate anti-Semitism. Zionists need anti-Semitism, because it feeds Zionist propaganda about needing a safe space.

I reiterate: To make peace, end Zionism. It’s that simple.
