Trump is dangerous – for Palestinians, for us all
JVL Introduction
Haim Bresheeth-Žabner is the son of two Holocaust survivors, an Israeli and a long standing supporter of the rights of the Palestinian people and opponent of zionism. His powerful and passionate critique of Trump’s “plan makes an important read.
Of Trump’s plans to make Gaza “the Riviera of the Middle East” Bresheeth-Žabner writes “This is not just a brutal act of defying law and justice – it is an act of defying humanity and history, of defying hope for a better world in which naked power should not enslave whole countries or ethnically cleanse millions at will and use genocide to threaten the rest into bending before its power.”
He also has proposals for a better future, which may seem unrealistic in the world of realpolitik but also logical in a world where all people matter.

I am glad that the author has chosen to raise the issue of abandoning the Zionist project. It needs to be said that a country cannot base itself upon the premise that it is there just for one people. Especially if that means the expulsion of another people. That would seem to be the fair answer to the issue of Palestine; one land, comprising both Palestinians and Jews. Israel is, in truth, a mistake. A mistake based upon racism and biblical stories. It truly cannot hold without the entire and complete destruction of the Palestinians – a second Holocaust if you like – because while the Palestinians remain so will their cause.
