Questioning Israel
Sixty eight years ago, Israel was created after Palestine was stolen and ethnically cleansed by Zionist invaders, mainly from Europe.
In Britain, senior politicians within the Conservative and Labour parties are now saying that anyone who hates Israel or questions its “right to exist” are anti-Semites. They say we can criticize some of the harsher aspects of Israel’s policies, but not the existence of Israel itself. And this message is being echoed by the mainstream media in the UK and the wider Western world.
To question Israel’s right to exist has become the cardinal sin in the mainstream media, but Rabbi Jacob Weisz thinks that Israel’s legitimacy should be questioned as it has neither a religious justification nor any political justification.
The rabbi argues that the existence of Israel is not only unjust to the Palestinians but also unjust to the whole Jewish community as it tarnishes their name and their religion with an illegitimate state.
