Quotation from Yaakov Sharett “Israel Was Born in Sin. I’m Collaborating With a Criminal Country” — Jul. 19 2021

"

The State of Israel and the Zionist enterprise were born in sin. That’s the way it is. (…) This original sin pursues and will pursue us and hang over us. We justify it, and it has become an existential fear, which expresses itself in all sorts of ways. There is a storm beneath the surface of the water,
(…) I’m a forced collaborator with a criminal country. … This recognition won’t leave me. The recognition that in the end Israel is a country occupying and abusing another people. (…)Over a million Israelis live abroad. The ideological Zionist commitment evaporates the more the generations pass. People understand that there are better places where to raise children and live. Everywhere has problems, life itself is a problem, but Israel has existential problems.
(…) The Zionist idea was to come to a place where there were people, members of another people, members of another religion, completely different.
(…) Have you seen anywhere in the world where the majority would agree to give in to a foreign invader, who says, ‘our forefathers were here,’ and demands to enter the land and take control? The conflict was inherent and Zionism denied this, ignored it… as the proportion of Jews to Arabs changed in favor of the Jews, the Arabs realized that they were losing the majority. Who would agree to such a thing? (…) I was a part of that. But now, Zionism, from my point of view, has disappeared. ... Our national agenda is blood, death and violence. This flag files to this day in our country as a vision. Israel lives on the sword and sharpens it. I am completely alienated from this.
