The year since October 7 has shown us that Israel can neither be accommodated nor reformed. It must be dismantled, and Zionism must be brought to an end. Only this will finally alleviate the Palestinians’ terrible ordeal over the past 76 years.
The anti-government protests in Israel may seem like a struggle between the Ashkenazi elite and ultra-orthodox for influence. But at a deeper level, the protests reflect the unresolved issue of Israel’s identity.
75 years after the Nakba, Palestine-Israel is one state under Israeli sovereignty but unequal. The struggle for a more equitable and democratic future will be long and ferociously resisted. That does not make it any less worth fighting for.
