The Israeli So-Called ‘Left’
By Gilad Atzmon | April 21, 2011
We learned today that some 300 prominent Israeli left-wingers, including some cultural leaders, gathered in Tel Aviv to call for the Jewish state to embrace the creation of a Palestinian State.
Among the petition’s signatories were 17 winners of the Israel Prize and other leading intellectuals and artists.
“We are here to welcome the expected announcement of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, according to the borders of our independence, fixed during the 1949 armistice,” the petition reads.
The Israeli so-called ‘Leftists’ are welcoming the expected Palestinian State as long as the Palestinians stay behind the wall and do not exercise their right of return. The Israeli humanists basically endorse the Palestinian diplomatic initiative so they can keep dwelling on Palestinian land forever. I am not impressed at all.
“The complete end of the occupation is an essential condition of the liberation of the two peoples,” the petition says. Someone should remind the Israeli ‘doves’ that the whole of Israel is located on historic Palestine.
I would actually expect the Israeli so-called ‘Left’ to be far more radical, to stand up and say, enough is enough, we are now calling all Palestinians to return to their homes, villages, cities, fields and orchards. Such a declaration would prove for the first time that the Israeli so-called ‘Left’ has internalised the real meaning of peace and harmony.
Don’t hold your breath, this is not going to happen soon.
What we saw in Tel Aviv today is an exercise in Jewish identity politics. A few so-called ‘Leftists’ engaged in a superficial self-loving pseudo ethical Hasbara campaign.

A New Era Of Mass Armies Approaches
BY IAN WELSH | SEPTEMBER 29, 2023
The army, or a part of it at the war college, has perked up and noticed some of the lessons of the Ukraine war, and that it’s a war that the US military could not fight. They’ve missed a lot of things, or felt they couldn’t/shouldn’t write about them, but they’ve figured some stuff out and written about them in a new report, “A Call to Action: Lessons from Ukraine for the Future Force” by Lieutenant Colonel Katie Crombe, and Professor John A. Nagle.
The entire thing is worth reading, but I’m going to pull out three of the main points. The first is that a volunteer US military can’t fight a real war.
The Russia-Ukraine War is exposing significant vulnerabilities in the Army’s strategic personnel depth and ability to withstand and replace casualties.11 Army theater medical planners may anticipate a sustained rate of roughly 3,600 casualties per day, ranging from those killed in action to those wounded in action or suffering disease or other non-battle injuries. With a 25 percent predicted replacement rate, the personnel system will require 800 new personnel each day. For context, the United States sustained about 50,000 casualties in two decades of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. In large-scale combat operations, the United States could experience that same number of casualties in two weeks. (emphasis mine)

Well, on this one i totally agree with Hellen Thomas ….that the zionists jews should return to where they came from…Europe.
The have committed enough crimes against the Palestinians..and enough is enough. Regardless of how much money they have spent in the creation of the so called zionist state ….is a matter of time before they have to return the land the Palestinians….
It’s Palestine not Israel….the name of the land.

The demand of the Israeli left is ground breaking and unprecedented coming from Jews. What they are asking for is return to 1949 borders, not 1967 borders (don’t hold your breath for this demand being met, however). That means that the Jewish state would have 54% of the mandate Palestine and the Palestinians 44% (twice what they had before the 1967 war!) Not only that but a much larger Gaza would be contiguous with the “West Bank” and would have access the the Mediterranean on the North also. This is not acceptable? You must be out of your minds to reject this proposal because if the Jewish state ever settled for that, we would have the foundation of a thousand year peace on this planet and humanity would soar to the heights that even the wildest science fiction writers have not dreamed of.
And yes, if I were a Palestinian, I would even accept the ‘transfer’ of the remaining Arab Israelis to the 44% of Palestine, allowing Jews to have almost purely Jewish homeland.
