The final stage is the end of Zionism: Haaretz
Recent internal events suggest that Zionism is on a path to demise, and unless leaders take swift action, the existential countdown has already started, Haaretz warned in its Friday op-ed.
The newspaper mentioned the “Flag March” in occupied al-Quds, which took place earlier this week and saw Israeli settlers storming the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque and violating its sanctity, attacking Palestinians and journalists, in addition to other Israelis, describing the scene as “ugly violence during the Jewish supremacy march.”
The writer recalled the words of a renowned philosopher, Yeshayahu Leibowitz, and his words on the steps toward the downfall of Zionism.
Leibowitz says, “The national pride and the euphoria following the Six-Day War are temporary. They will transport us from proud and rising nationalism to extreme messianic nationalism. The third stage will be brutishness, with the final stage being the end of Zionism.”
The outlet continued the report by providing evidence of “brutishness at its peak,” as it described it.
A reporter for Haaretz, who was on the ground during the “Flag March”, said that “the general atmosphere was one of revenge, the main symbol on the shirts was the fist of Kahana, and the popular song was the revenge song alongside ‘Death to Arabs’ and ‘Let your village burn.'”
