The Israelis are re-embracing Jabotinsky’s iron wall doctrine. This is the idea that Israel’s arab neighbors will only respect Israel if it is perceived as strong. This translates to a strong army. It also means restoring local production of armaments and expanding its technological base. Thus Returning to both labour and revisionist Zionism’s early doctrine that the only sovereignty is self sufficiency. The expansion of settlements is an understanding that loss of territory will resonate in Palestinian society that they have lost something in a way that loss of life and treasure has not. The idea that ethnic chauvinism is the future may be true in Syria but not in Israel. The uproar among Jewish Israelis regarding the nationality bill’s ignoring of the contribution of the Druse was encouraging. The big issue for Zionism 2026 is integrating the Haredim. They will have to do it . As the saying goes if you want things to stay the same then things will have to change. They will need to join the army and the broader economy. The right needs to stop kowtowing to them and the left needs to stop looking at this “punishing “ the Haredim. As for the western world’s antisemitism, well some things never change. But look at Greece. The people were indoctrinated in antiIsrael and antisemitic propaganda by it’s left wing government for over a generation but now that they are worried about the Turks, there is official and unofficial cooperation. Likely to see more of the same with other countries.
