Why don't we see the massacres in the Middle East?
In recent years, the Israeli peace movement has been dismantled, anti-Semitism has been confused with anti-Zionism, and the narrative of a clash of civilizations has been spread. These three errors prevent us from seeing and understanding what is happening in the Middle East.
The peace movement of Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Zionist Organization, no longer exists. Its goal was to make Israel the spiritual and moral center of all Jews, a neutral state modeled on Switzerland, with international security guarantees, and a permanent symbolic international presence. Goldmann, who denounced the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem and not by an international tribunal (which allowed revisionist Zionists to mask their relationship with him), negotiated a just and lasting peaceful coexistence with Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and Palestine Liberation Organization President Yasser Arafat, and was even arrested in Israel.
