I want to break down that Gadot gets right and what she gets wrong here.
I think she emphasizes that this conflict is two-sided too much when there is clearly one side with far more power and more hostility and has committed more acts of violence. So she could’ve been more careful there.
But the rest seems fine. It’s just a plea for peace. She doesn’t want either side to suffer. Why is that bad?
Upon close examination of her words, it seems that she wants there to be a state of Israel (my guess is she favors a two state solution).
So is she canceled because she wants a two state solution? Because she wants there to be a state of Israel? That doesn’t mean she doesn’t want a regime change or Zionism (the kind that determines that Palestine shouldn’t exist at all) to continue.
And I guess we’re at a point where a lot of people don’t think Israel should exist at all even if there is a regime change and two state solution is found. And I don’t know how I feel about that. That makes me uncomfortable.
It’s not really for me to say but I think Jews deserve self-determination, and if Israelis decide they want to live in the Levent and can do so peacefully then they should
It’s subtle, but I keep getting the feeling that a lot of people on the left think that Jews don’t have a right to live or settle in the Levent which is fucked up.
