Public Information Campaigns, conducted in Israel, are vitally needed to educate the Israeli Public to (1) the illusory threat of a free and independent Palestine, indeed how this would benefit Israel, and (2) the stain left on the Jewish heritage and soul of Israel by such persistent aggression. |
=Israel-Lebanon-Palestinian
Conflict: an
Educational Solution=
Here
is what I firmly believe concerning the best way to deal with Israel,
for the sake of the Palestinians, Lebanese, the Israeli people, and all
the rest of us living in this increasingly ugly world:
There needs to be public
education campaigning conducted in Israel,
(1) door-to-door
with leaflets/talking, and
(2) special efforts made in Israeli
universities. Educating and politically
activating university students is extremely
important.
It would be best if Palestinians cooperated with sympathetic
Israelis and Israeli Arabs to do the job.
Offhand, there are 3 things I would have the Palestinians/Israeli
sympathetisers emphasise to the Israeli Public:
1.
That a free and independent and liveable Palestine is not a threat to
Israel. Indeed, it would enhance Israeli security and
prosperity.
(This needs to be spelled out with facts & reasoned argument.)
2. Israeli violent actions smear & taint
the Jewish heritage, and damage the soul of Israel.
3.
Perhaps quote appropriate passages from, or make references to the Old
Testament. (One might presume this will fall on deaf ears
UNLESS (1)
and (2) are effectively written.)
An astonishingly close historical analogy exists between the evolution
of Israel
and that of Classical
Athens
--- freedom-fighting against the odds, the establishment of democracy,
the great years of achievement and high hopes, the corruption by money
and power, and aggressive military repression of freedom-fighters from
other states (although still maintaining a domestic democracy -- the problem is the
corrosion of moral fibre and intellectual acuity due to power and money).
Should anyone find interest (and lessons) in the above, he or she might
wish to glance at a particular book, "Socrates,
the Martyred Messiah: An Essential History of Classical Athens",
