What about you? Do her words convince you?
"The core of the conflict remains the denial and rejection that the Jewish people have any right any business being in this land."
"Until you realize that the injustice that needs to be corrected so that there will be justice for Palestine is the very existence of the state of Israel. Only when that injustice is made to go away can there be justice for Palestine. And then you realize that 'Justice for Palestine' is actually a very violent idea. It is about crashing the so called injustice of the existence of the state of Israel."
Einat Wilf could not possibly convince me of something I always knew. Something I have been saying for the last 20 years:
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not about Ariel, Ma'ale Adumin, a few inches of land west of the Green Line, a few inches of land east of the Green Line.
The conflict is about the natural right of the native people of Palestine to live in Haifa, Askhelon and Jaffa.
The fact that Einat calls the implementation of their natural right "a very violent idea" only confirms what I've already said 3 or 4 times in previous posts.
Einat Wilf is a die-hard zionist, no friend of Palestinians, so no one can accuse her of making up stories to promote their cause.
What I really didn't know was the incredible, mind-boggling "wall paint story".
I knew Palestinians hated their exile and the refugee camps they live in but I was unaware the rejection was so deep.
