The physical and symbolic erasure of the Palestinian presence from the land, past and present -- "Jewish majority" spells racism -- Equal rights -- A theocratic Jewish state -- The assertion of the democratic nature of the state -- Post-Zionism; a failed departure from Zionist left discourse -- Revisionist social sciences: pre-state colonization and the 1948 War -- The postmodernist current in post-Zionism -- The Zionist left and "peace".
The Israeli Left has long held the view that the historic Zionist Labor movement stands firmly in the humanistic, democratic, and even socialist traditions. These progressive credentials are routinely called forth as cause to dismiss any of Israel{u2019}s leftwing critics and their charges of injustice. Yet, a closer examination of these claims reveals a carefully constructed mythology used to obscure a more sordid reality. False Prophets of Peace unearths the central role played by the Israeli Left in laying the foundation for the colonial settler project and its campaign of dispossession. Far from its professed radicalism, Honig-Parnass deftly exposes Left Zionism{u2019}s contributions to Israel{u2019}s exclusivist ideology and its participation in attempts to legitimize the apartheid treatment of Palestinians. Its fervent support of a Jewish-only state not only undermined the 2peace process3 from the very start but continues to serve as a barrier to reaching a just peace that recognizes the national and human rights of the Palestinian people.
