Delegitimisation is the favourite attack word used by defenders of Israels unique (mis)understanding of democracy. Its usually deployed to accuse human rights campaigners of wanting to wipe the Jewish State off the face of the earth for daring to suggest an alternative and fairer way of running the country.The apocalyptic rhetoric is designed to close down a debate about institutional discrimination and portray the call for Palestinian rights as the most poisonous act of antisemitism since the Holocaust

Those who followed the news in Israel over the past year must think it is a schizophrenic society. On the one hand, the news described an unprecedented rise in public solidarity and national allegiance during Operation Protective Edge. On the other hand, for weeks, the news spoke of a campaign of Israelis calling on everyone to leave the Jewish state and move to Berlin because the price of chocolate pudding is lower there.

In recent weeks, I have been paying particular attention to the arguments in favor of Zionism from those who call themselves progressive Zionists and call for a two-state solution, support Israels right to exist as a Jewish state, and express criticism of some of Israels policies and actions. More precisely, I have been paying attention to what is NOT being discussed in these arguments, namely, anything about the Nakba (Arabic for catastrophe), the expulsion of approximately 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and land before and during Israels creation.
