David Zonsheine, OTOH, living in Israel, has a dimmer view of left-Zionism, faulting it for serving (via the military) the same occupation/apartheid that it says it opposes. www.mekomit.co.il/%d7%aa%d7%92...
Walter Ruby offers post-Zionism as a 3rd way. It can, he says, still work with left-Zionism, though they "think [...] differently" about history, post-Zionists believing that Zionism both represented liberation for Jews AND "had within it a fatal flaw". forward.com/opinion/8299...
Well, at least @haaretzcom.bsky.social's Liza Rozovsky isn't afraid to say it: The Palestinian question "is what underlies Israel's deepening isolation... And the occupation continues to destroy Israeli society and cause it to rot." www.haaretz.co.il/news/politic...
Trump equating Israeli bombing of Beirut with Iranian missile fire on Israel ("Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike, and Iran had its strike. We don't need another one.") is rather significant.

Anniversary of Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon/regime change effort was 6/6. These soldiers could be the parents, even grandparents, of today's soldiers. They sang:
"Descend to us, airplane, Take us to Lebanon,
We'll fight for Sharon, And return in a coffin” www.facebook.com/watch/?v=619...
