What would Israels Liberal Left Sacrifice for Peace?
Israel’s liberal-left is constantly stating we need to make “sacrifices” for peace. At least stating “sacrifice” implies taking away something of value, of something near and dear to us…such as land. Netanyahu has gone farther and stated “painful” concessions…(meaning even more land, and uprooting Jewish communities).
The Palestinians don’t only hate the Zionist entity of Israel because of “the occupation”, but they also hate the secular aspects of Zionism. The original Zionist pioneers, men and women dancing the hora on a kibbutz (while wearing shorts) infuriated the religious sensibilities of Islam, and they viewed secular Zionism with disgust.
I wonder if Israel’s liberal-left would be willing to make a sacrifice for peace, in that they would need to adopt a more modest-dress lifestyle, in public. Would this far-reaching attack on one’s personal space be an acceptable “price for peace”?
Just a thought.
