"The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may well be another profound truth." - Niels Bohr

What profound truths do you hold in regard to the conflict in Israel?

Our profound truths

We, Elisha Gechter and Ruthie Warshenbrot, believe it is profoundly true that the Jewish community can say: Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorists and Israel has an obligation to change the status quo and improve the rights of Palestinians.

We also believe it is profoundly true that:
• Jews have historically been persecuted and deserve a homeland.
• Palestinians have been displaced from their homes and deserve equal rights and the freedom to self-determination.
• All Israelis – Jews and Arabs – and all Palestinians, living in the region have suffered trauma from this conflict, and that trauma needs healing.
• Acts of antisemitism against Jews in the U.S. have increased because of tensions in the Middle East and are categorically hate crimes.

What reactions (if any) do you have to the profound truths that we named in our article, listed above?
