Zionist Left support for the bloody assaults on Gaza signifies its erasure from Israel's political map

The aim of this article is to pinpoint the explicit and implicit support of the Zionist Left intellectuals usually identified with Labor or Meretz for the brutal attacks on Gaza since 2006. This support is a new stage in the Left intellectuals' loyalty to the state and its oppressive policies against the Palestinian people. The viciousness of mass murder and horrid devastation of Gaza, chiefly in the recent Operation Protective Edge, have reached unprecedented levels. Their support by the “most enlightened” public figures in Israeli society amounts to total disregard for basic human rights and international laws and erases any meaningful difference between them and the Right.

Reappearance of the Good Old Zionist Consensus

Tikva Honig-Parnass — 2001-04-03T00:00:00Z

The Israeli political arena is perceived by most of the Israeli, Palestinian and world opinion, as sharply divided into two main blocs, headed by the Zionist parties of Labour and Likud. It is important once again to refute this imaginary perception which misleads many, preventing the growth of a true Left which struggles for social and political transformation of the Jewish-Zionist state.
