Thank you Avi Shlaim, for calling "the right of Israel to exist" what it is : a Zionist colonial war machine bent on destroying any semblance of a Palestinian nation and nationality through territorial expansionism.

I write as someone who served loyally in the Israeli army in the mid-1960s and who has never questioned the legitimacy of the state of Israel within its pre-1967 borders. What I utterly reject is the Zionist colonial project beyond the Green Line. The Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the June 1967 war had very little to do with security and everything to do with territorial expansionism. The aim was to establish Greater Israel through permanent political, economic and military control over the Palestinian territories. And the result has been one of the most prolonged and brutal military occupations of modern times.

The big question is, can Israel exist without zionism?
