- Title
October 7th, 2023 From The Perspective Of Zionist History: A Crucial Wakeup Alarm.
- Authors
Lavsky, Hagit
- Abstract
This article, written by a Zionist Israeli historian, provides a critical perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the challenges faced by Zionism. The author argues that the tendency to compare the recent Hamas attack to the Holocaust is misguided and prevents a thorough self-examination of Israel's role in the conflict. The article highlights two paradoxes inherent in Zionist ideology and suggests that Israel's strategy of avoidance and complacency has led to the deterioration of Israeli democracy and the emergence of Palestinian terrorism. The author calls for a rethinking of Israel's future path towards normalcy, peace, and democracy.
