I read the book “Jewish Paradox” from Nahum Goldmann. He was creator of the World Jewish Congress in 1933 to protect Jews from Hitler and president of World Zionist Congress.
In his book he often criticizes Ben Gurion for only using military might in dealing with Palestinians. He says all belligerent tone from Israel society was learned from Ben Gurion.
according to him, had Israel applied 1/5 of the effort it used to get favours with Western Powers for understanding arabs, Israelis and Palestinians would be in peace. Not just legal peace on the paper, but real peace from heart to heart.
This book has inspired me a lot and I’d like to know if any of you can recommend a book by another Israel/Jewish politician/leader which had really from it’s heart the desire to be in peace with Palestinians.
If possible, please a politician/leader who wrote a book themself
When you start your question by equating Jewish people with Israelis by writing “Israeli/Jewish” you are already committing a grave fallacy. There are plenty of Jewish people who fit the criteria of what you are asking, many of them who are deeply dedicated to the struggle for a free Palestine, but none who are or could ever be “Israeli” leaders because to be an Israeli politician let alone a leader you need to be dedicated to upholding and perpetuating the genocidal settler-colonial project. Never, ever associate Jewishness with being Israeli, the Jewish people deserve better than to be named in the same breath as that crime against humanity called “Israel”. Only Zionists and antisemites perpetually equate the two.
When I say Jewish I mean anyone who could have lived before Israel State existed, or who didn’t move to there.
And when I say Israeli is in case after Israel exists and the person had a role in Israel government.
A/B means A OR B. Doesn’t mean A EQUALS B
I just wanted to make it a abroad as possible.
If you look the general post I assume that I want someone to inspire, so the goal was clearly on the positive side for whoever is mentioned.
Ps: I have edited the question to make the OR more explicit
