Subject: They are destroying the soul of a great nation

I'm a dedicated Zionist and I'm going to say something no other Jew will say:

The settlers are killing us.

The settlers are preventing a peaceful solution that would end the conflict once and for all.

The settlers are motivated by religious visions that are fanatical and harmful. They really believe that when Jews occupy all of Eretz Israel that Messiah will return. What century are they living in? The 14th?

The settlers are completely selfish in their motives. Most of them don't even care if their actions have a negative effect on Israel and on Jews worldwide.

The settlers are making Israel looking immoral, greedy and racist. They are spoiling the good name of the Jewish people.

When the world sees Jews with machine guns harassing and bullying those poor people who are just trying to harvest their olive trees and they see IDF soldiers just standing by and watching, it turns the whole world against us.

Nobody can stop them except us.

I'm calling on all Jews everywhere to stop the settlers before they destroy the soul of a great nation, a great people.

Zionism is wonderful, Expansionist Zionism is nothing short of racism. We already have 80% of the land. It just makes us look greedy, petty and cruel to try to whittle away at the remaining 20%.

It plays into the worst stereotypes that anti-Semites use against us; that we're greedy and don't care about anyone but fellow Jews. That's not the real us, but they can use it against us.

Because they are Sharon's power base, they control Israel's policies. Supporting Israel does not mean you have to support this right-wing government and their extreme policies.

We are the People of the Book, the people of justice and righteousness. Don't let these fanatics spoil it by ruining our chances for a fair and just peace: the peace that will bring an end to Israel's misery. We have become the People of the Bulldozer. We destroy rather than create.

How many more Jews must die so that a few fanatics can live in subsidized apartment buildings on what is, by any measure, rightfully Palestinian land? How many more Arabs must die for those few apartment buildings? How many more millions of dollars are going to be drained from the Israeli economy?

It’s not worth it and if we have to criticize some fellow Jews to save Israel, then I say we should have the guts to do it.
