“Salman Schocken, a Jewish businessman who left Germany in 1934 after the Nazis had come to power, bought the paper in December 1935. Schocken was active in Brit Shalom, also known as the Jewish–Palestinian Peace Alliance, a body supporting co-existence between Jews and Arabs which was sympathetic to a homeland for both peoples. His son, Gershom Schocken, became the chief editor in 1939 and held that position until his death in 1990.”
From the English a language Wikipedia article on Haaretz.
The Schocken family continues to own 75% of the paper’s stocks, hence the position.
Zionism is the quest for a homeland for the Jewish people… many people chose Argentina, many chose Ethiopia… Israel was created by the Allied Forces after world war two… zionism has nothing to do with recreating Israel or hurting Palestinians….
stop using words you don’t understand… blaming “zionists” is like blaming jews… it’s racist.
Israel is committing these crimes against humanity. Not jews, not zionists… it’s Israel
Notice how each of those countries you said Zionists chose instead of Palestine were already, you know, countries. Where people live. Zionism is a settler colonial movement that displaces people wherever you decide it should be. Colonizers do not deserve sympathy or support. I agree that the actions of Israel should not be associated with the Jewish people, but they most certainly are the actions of Zionists, of colonizers. No one gets to Minecraft a homeland out of thin air. You don’t just pop up an ethno-state on any habitable location on earth without removing those who already live there.
We agree on the essence. I am not going to argue over semantics and definitions. People have a right to self determination but not settler colonialism, we agree on that but disagree on the definition of Zionism. I go with the writings of Jabotinsky and Herzl.
Same here! It also helps to threaten your victims with further violence and reminding them you know where they live and can look up who their family is lol being a cop is so silly!!
A few US outlets have mentioned it fleetingly, but here’s a more balanced account from Haaretz.
Here is a flyer circulated by the protest organizers:
Here is a flyer advertizing the real estate sale itself:
Here is an archived copy of the real estate sale web page (which is currently unavailable):

Here is a listing for property in Efrat, which is an illegal Israeli settlement located in the West Bank:

Interesting that an Israeli newspaper provides a more balanced report than US outlets… how did that happen?

a lot of Israelis are very much against what has been happening in Palestine…
(also why “zionist” is a bad word to call pro-genocidal people)
Nothing excuses Zionism even if some opposes the actions of their government

You agree on the definition, you’re just not ignoring that people already lived there like he is.
