\u00a0<\/strong>When I was in my twenties, I lulled myself to sleep\u00a0imagining I was gunning down “Palestinian terrorists”\u00a0\u00a0attacking my kibbutz. I recall visiting a house in Jerusalem “abandoned” by Palestinians. “How quaint, I thought”<\/em>not considering the hypocrisy of Jews claiming a right\u00a0of return after 2000 years\u00a0but Palestinians denied one after 50 years.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was a brainwashed Zionist. As I did more research I gradually realized we were the bad guys.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can’t build a nation on the lives of another people. This atrocity will bring us all down. That is the ultimate purpose.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I considered immigrating to Israel <\/strong>in 1972 and lived there for nine months.<\/p>\n

I went to Labor Zionist summer camps as a youth.<\/p>\n

In 1970, I huddled in a bunker at Kibbutz Ashdod Yaakov<\/em> during a mortar attack.<\/p>\n

I’m writing this because I hung out with Zionist Jews when I was young. They were good people.<\/p>\n

Charming, warm, funny, smart. I never encountered a pejorative attitude to Gentiles.<\/p>\n

What has happened to you?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can you participate or condone this genocide?<\/p>\n
