#TheEndOfIsrael = An alternative to #Zionism, a TRANSFORMED REALITY based on the equality of #Jewsand Palestinian #Arabs

Inspired by Omar Barghouti’s concept of ethical decolonization and Richard Falk’s statement, “The alternative to Zionism for an Israel that abandons Apartheid is not collapse but a transformative reality based on the real equality of Jews and Palestinians”, I have composed the following series of memes. Wishful thinking? Well, we must not be careful about what we wish for, because we might just get it.

#TheEndOfIsrael = A restoration of the humanity of both, the oppressor & the oppressed — Zionist #Jews & Palestinian #Arabs
#TheEndOfIsrael = Transformative justice
#TheEndOfIsrael = #Return of Palestinian refugees & exiles to their homeland
#TheEndOfIsrael = The end of #Israel’s “right” to exist as a Jewish state.
#TheEndOfIsrael = The end of settler-colonialism in #Palestine
#TheEndOfIsrael = Optimism about #Palestine’s future
#TheEndOfIsrel: NEW FORMS OF U.S. POLICY FOR A TRANSFORMED REALITY OF ISRAEL e
#TheEndOfIsrael = #OneDemocraticState
#TheEndOfIsrael = End of Israel’s cottage industry of “Combating terror”
#TheEndOfIsrael = New forms of solidarity for a transformed reality of Israel
#TheEndOfIsrael = The end of #BDS
