“Israeli society now acknowledges the Nakba. But there is much more to be done,” Jeries said. “Israeli Jews don’t yet want to take responsibility for it: to fix historical injustices and take back the refugees. It is going to be a long process.”
“…In the name of beleaguered Palestinians and the Syrians or any other people that Israel is determined to dominate or crash, as well as for the sake of your own humanity… in the upcoming European Parliamentary elections, do not vote for a friend of Israel,” Lawson said in a video posted on Intifada Palestine website.
Peace agreement is an anathema to Israel and contradicts its Zionist goal of a “Greater Israel”. In such a nation there is no room or accommodation for Palestinians and Arabs from the Nile River to the west, to the Lebanese LItani River in the north, and the Euphrates River to the east.

Israeli society, like its soldiers, is caught in a self-destructive cycle: its very sensitivity to criticism pushes it ever more resolutely towards outcast status.
