Israel on the Brink
Eight Steps for a Better Future
(Autor) Ilan PappeIsrael can't go on like this. 7 October and Israel's subsequent invasion of Gaza laid bare the cracks in its foundations. It was unveiled as a country unable to protect its citizens, divided between messianic theocrats and selective liberals, resented by its neighbours and losing the support of Jews worldwide. While its leaders justify bombing campaigns exceeding the worst atrocities of World War 2 and manmade famine in the Gaza Strip, Israel is becoming a pariah state. Its worst enemy is not Hamas, but itself. Ilan Pappe paves a path out of the Jewish state, rooted in restorative justice and decolonisation, including the release of all Palestinian prisoners, the end of illegal settlements, and building bridges with the Arab world. The future can be one of justice and reconciliation, not endless war.
