Zionism’s Original Sin
Peloni: It is impossible to reconcile the distinctions drawn between Smotrich’s advocacy to recognize Gaza as Jewish land and those who would see it ceded to the Gazan psychopaths who supported, elected and by the thousands joined Hamas in fulfilling its blood lust and debauchery on October 7 in the Kibutzim of the Gaza envelop. Abandoning this land to our enemies under any condition or negotiation designates a permanent penalty upon the Jewish people and simultaneously provides a trophy for those who would see the land of Israel soaked in Jewish blood, fulfilling the endless fantasies of those pernicious reprobates singing ‘from the river to the sea’. Gaza is the land of the Jewish people, not some ransoming chit to be bargained away. It is to Netanyahu’s eternal shame that he would fail to act in preventing Gaza from being ripped from the Jewish people a second time, the first being his long delayed silence while the Expulsion of 2005 became all but accepted. It is incomprehensible that the surrender of Gaza should be supported by any political party, to any people, at any time. For Likud to take such a position in surrendering these Jewish lands a second time to the very psychopaths who made October 7 possible, and who participating in the vile revelries of that great slaughter, should be understood to be as inexplicable as it is unacceptable. On Yom HaShoah, in the silent moments honoring the memory of the Holocaust and past heroes, the current undertaking to betray the Zionist claim to our ancestral lands, which includes Gaza, screams for a reconsideration. Min. Smotrich is to be congratulated for sounding this clarion call to make Gaza Jewish again.

I just read online a lengthy but splendid, historical-legal argument by Karen Stahl-Don establishing the State of Israel in international law as the legal and legitimate sovereign in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, a.k.a. “from the river to sea,” and this year’s Independence Day would be remembered as the best ever if the government had told this to the world, but it never has. And I wonder why not?
