Emil,
I am as secular as you can get, far away for orthodox. I believe in right of existance of the State of Israel, and right to self defence. People like to give name tags to things they don't understand, but if that makes me Zionist, then be it. I also believe in an honorable settlment for the Arabs living in peace in the middle east.
I realize that mistakes has been made by all parties, there is an ugly war, no body wants it but it seems that Palesitinians are killing Israelis, and Israelis are killing arabs, in self-defence. I do not vote in Israel and I wouldn't have voted for Mr. Sharon in any case. But it doesn't mean that I believe in sitting tight and let Arabs massacher Jews, just becasue no one has been smart enough to find a political solution.
Do I believe that 20,000 zeolots settling in the disputed land are righ to do so? No, I don't. On the contrary, I think the state of Israel should make the force removal, evicting these people?
You see, life is not in balck and white, it has many shades, and this is a very complex problem, it needs to be solved by people of good will on both sides. People who love their children more than they hate their enemies.
That means Zionism? If so than I will wear it as a badge of honor! |
