    Israel must change its story on repatriation and restoration

    Responding to an analysis by Shany Mor on the website Mosaic, Cole S. Aronson and Avi Bell counter various arguments made against “right-wing religious settler Zionism,” a subgroup that Mor insists has “captured” the State. of Israel.

    They note that among the four main themes he addresses, Mor’s personal perspective on the issue of Israeli administration of Judea and Samaria is unsupportive. He is among those who believe that the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria are “a moral stain and burden, and the main source of Israel’s insecurity and illegitimacy.”

    While many of the points they make against Mor are valid and persuasive, as are other points contributed by Evelyn Gordon, Gadi Taub, Rafi DeMogge, and Amnon Lord, the disinformation and propaganda campaigns that Israel and Zionism currently face make Mor It depends more on Mor’s analysis than on ‘s analysis. Various ideologies that accuse Zionism of colonialism, racism, and theocratic desires for genocide.

    As we have witnessed over the past two or three decades, these have distorted not only the facts but also the language of the conflict. They reshaped reality and discourse just to confront Zionism. Human rights are not human rights. Legal rights are not legal rights. History is not history.

    It is necessary to address the politics of pro-Palestinian propaganda more fundamentally and fundamentally.

    ISRAELI FLAGS have been placed in the Philadelphi Corridor area. The authors argue that if Israel gave up control of the corridor, this would give Hamas a chance to re-establish its significant presence in the Gaza Strip, making it a dominant power in practice. (credit: Oren Cohen/Flash90)

    In 1922, 50 countries ratified Great Britain’s 1917 Balfour Declaration and the 1920 San Remo Conference resolutions of Great Britain, France, Italy, and Japan. “It enacts the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.”

    The League of Nations resolution acknowledged the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine” and stated that the aim was not to colonize an Arab state or entity but “to rebuild their national home in that country.”

    Palestine Mandate – incidentally, Arabs were never specifically mentioned – accused Britain of ensuring “the encouragement of close settlement of Jews in the land”. Moreover, the second major responsibility was “to facilitate Jewish immigration.” With the establishment of a new country, Transjordan, in what was intended to be “Palestine”, Jewish immigration and settlement rights were limited to the entire region west of the Jordan River.

    Despite decades of offers of territorial compromise and division of territory from 1935 to 2005, the Arabs never accepted recognition of Jewish national identity and continued to achieve their goal of eradicating Israel. Anything less would not be enough.

    JEWS currently residing in Judea and Samaria, and those who do so in the future, are, as Bell and Aronson put it, “part of the great indigenous restoration project known as Zionism.” They are back. They are busy resettling in their national homeland.

    They join the Jewish founding fathers and mothers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, and Rachel. They join those buried in Hebron, Shechem, and Jerusalem. The tribal federation continues to do what the Jews of the First Temple and Second Temple periods did. They preserve the heritage and legacy of the Jews of the Kingdoms of Judea and Israel and the Hasmonean Commonwealth.

    These residents are descendants of indigenous people who returned three times after losing political independence. They returned to the promised land from Egypt and then Babylon. Moreover, during a long life of exile in the midst of more than 70 nations, small numbers — and sometimes large numbers — returned each century to live in the Land of Israel, the Jewish national territory.

    Where did we become a nation?

    That Land of Israel is where the Jews were formed as a nation and where their religion and culture were created. It is the land of Jewish literature and traditions. no amount anti-zionismSo-called anti-colonialism or outright identity theft can negate our legacy.

    The story is not whether we are occupiers, whether we are categorized as colonizers, or whether we are racists seeking the genocide of a particular people who have transformed their Southern Syrian identity into a Palestinian identity. To face their challenges, we must change our story to one of repatriation, reconstruction and restoration. It is not an answer, but a principled statement of historical fact supported by scientific, literary and legal evidence.

    Yousef Munayyer, who regularly hosted Peter Beinart on the old Open Zion site (which closed in 2013 due to Beinart being closed to all Zion possibilities) and whose X/Twitter profile said he “laughed at hasbara”, made a sarcastic post on Twitter. “Zionism is based on the idea that the right of the Jewish people to come to Palestine has not ended after 2000 years,” he said on October 30.

    Quite simply, how might this period have ended if Jews had lived in the country continuously despite foreign oppressive rule and continued to reside there continuously for more than 1,800 years? Zionism is not a 19th century invention. For over 2,000 years, Zionism has been shaped by the actions and beliefs of Jews, their prayers, their poetry, and their insistence on conversion from all over the world.

    If there was an element of invention involved, it occurred in the early 1920s, when people hitherto known as Southern Syrians reinvented themselves to identify as “Palestinians.” Today, this inventiveness continues with false accusations such as “apartheid”, “genocide”, “famine” and “a second attack”. Nakba(the day of the disaster) was contained in the address given by Amos Schocken, owner and publisher of Haaretz, at his newspaper’s conference in London on 27 October.

    There is no historical, cultural and legal narrative more just, truer and more deserved than Zionism, the repatriation of Jews to their national home, restoration and reconstruction of their political sovereignty.
