I’m still digesting and assimilating your last video on the insane hatred Israelis have for Palestinians. But now listening to your latest ‘Mizrahi perspective’, I see a pattern of clues and proofs of the inevitable failure of Zionism. For my own understanding I try to synthesize what I understand and put it into bite sized principles, so here goes: My conclusion is that hatred, being negative and highly toxic, as the sole shared value, the glue of Israeli society, it will eventually doom the entire enterprise. Similarly, the Zionist insistance on separation and superiority is so antithetical to human nature and basic joie de vivre that we will never give it up. I am literally cheering out loud your speech about how much we love sharing our diversity. We love to love and no amount of hasbara will ever change that.

I want you to know that subscribing to the Mizrahi Perspective has been an excellent investment, keeping me sane and hopeful in this dark moment, so many thanks.

I have a big follow up question that I’ve wondered about now for years but more urgently since the beginning of the genocide and that is, even if the Zionists were to succeed what would they actually achieve? I imagine it would be the enjoyment of a soulless monochrome materially abundant but hollow existence. I truly don’t get it, neither their motivation nor ultimate goal. It just doesn’t seem appealing.

Great presentation! I am appalled by the blind, irrational fervor with which Zionists have been amplifying lies about how Hamas killed the Bibas children and mother. There is no place left within Judaism for critics of the Gaza Genocide. It is no longer a religion; it has become a cult.
