AntiSemitism at Durban
Israel's Best Protection is a World Without Racism
Rabbi Michael Lerner | 09.07.2001 New York Times Op-Ed September 5, 2001
By MICHAEL LERNER
AN FRANCISCO -- The walkout by the United States and Israel from the United
Nations
conference on racism in Durban, South Africa, was a predictable and
unfortunate
consequence of the irresponsibility of those in the Arab world who sought to
make
Israel a central issue. In supporting this shortsighted choice, the Arab
states have
played into the hands of right-wing politicians, in both Israel and the
United States,
who will benefit from the moral discrediting of the antiracist efforts that
many had
hoped would be the center of the conference.
American right-wingers who resist confronting the damaging legacy of slavery
and
segregation in the United States and the issue of reparations for slavery
can hide
behind the claim that in repudiating the Durban conference, they were
standing up
against racist anti-Semitism. Israeli right-wingers can use the record of
intolerance
at the conference to discredit criticism of the violence inherent in the
occupation of
the West Bank and Gaza, the bulldozing of Palestinian homes, and
stonewalling on the
issue of Israeli responsibility for the fate of Palestinian refugees. "See,"
they can
now say, "all these criticisms are merely the latest attempt to label
Zionism as
racism, another episode in the eternal history of anti-Jewish sentiments and
double
standards among the nations."
On its face, the charge against Israel is ludicrous. Anyone visiting Israel
is
immediately struck by the fact that it is one of the most multiethnic
societies in the
world. It is, to be sure, a state for those who have accepted Judaism. But
that
includes black Jews from Ethiopia, Jews from India and China who bear all
the racial
characteristics of people in those societies, Jews who escaped persecution
in Arab
lands and are racially indistinguishable from Arab Muslims. The fact is that
whatever
your racial background, you can convert to Judaism and be accepted with full
rights in
Israel.
Moreover, unlike South Africa under apartheid, which targeted anyone born of
a certain
race, regardless of religion, Israel has given its largest minority, the
Israeli
Arabs, the vote and the right to representation in the Knesset. Israeli
Arabs have an
easier time having their votes counted than blacks in some parts of Florida
do. Israel
has no segregated movie theaters or beaches. And the patterns of segregation
in
housing are not sanctified by the law.
Israel, of course, gives special privileges to Jews - but this has nothing
to do with
race. It has a great deal to do with the history of the Jewish people, who
have been
persecuted for thousands of years for being part of a particular religious
community.
It was in light of that history that Israel was created by the United
Nations - as a
kind of international affirmative action to rectify a long history of abuse
by other
nations. Like all such programs, the special privileges for Jews should be
phased out
over time as anti-Semitism in the world becomes less of a threat-- and
unfortunately
Durban shows that that may take longer than most of us had hoped.
In its treatment of Palestinians, Israel has engaged in activities that are
morally
unacceptable - violations of fundamental human rights - and deserve to be
criticized.
[***]
Every day I get death threats from various Jews around the world
[***]
for the role that my magazine, Tikkun, plays in insisting that Israel end
the
occupation, dismantle the settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, and take
responsibility for reparations for Palestinian refugees. But to single out
Israel for
special focus, as the Durban conference has done, is totally out of
proportion to the
realities of the world today.
The genocidal war against the Chechen people by Russia, the Chinese
occupation of
Tibet and destruction of Buddhism there, the murder of hundreds of thousands
of
Africans by tribes pitted against one another, the acts of Serbia in Bosnia
and Kosovo
- these are only the beginning of the list of events that merit the
continued
attention of the world. Similarly, the long history of oppression against
minorities
in Arab countries (for example, the treatment of the Kurds) must also be
recognized.
The double standard in singling out Israel's transgressions against the
Palestinians
is a living embodiment of the very racism that makes Israelis feel the need
for a
state that gives them special protections and rights.
If the world wants to help the Palestinian people, it needs to alleviate
rather than
intensify Jewish fears that everyone wants to destroy us. Similarly, if we
Jews want
to end Palestinian terrorism, we need not only to end the occupation and
dismantle
settlements, but also to approach Palestinians with the same spirit of
generosity,
open-heartedness and atonement that we wish we were receiving from the rest
of the
world.
By failing to criticize Israeli human rights violations adequately, world
Jewry made
itself vulnerable to the illegitimate criticisms at Durban. And the
short-term
protection from the racism of the resolutions at Durban achieved by joining
the
American walkout masks a deeper danger: Jews risk becoming identified with
the forces
in the world that oppose the struggle against racism.
It would be far better for Jews to acknowledge the distortions in Israeli
policy and
argue against them with the same intensity that we use in arguing against
the
distorted attempt to represent Israel's situation as worse than those of
many other
countries. Jewish safety lies in a world without racism.
By driving Jews into the hands of the political right wing, the Arab nations
have done
far more lasting damage to the Jewish people than they could through any
military
offensive. Yet those of us who love Israel must also acknowledge that while
its unfair
to pick on Israel when there are so many worse bullies in the world, the
best
protection for Israel would lie in stopping to be a bully toward the
Palestinian
people, rather than in pointing to the worse bullies. As our Prophets made
clear, Zion
shall be redeemed through justice--and anything less is a desecration of our
tradition
and of the Jewish martyrs of the ages.

If you like what you read here, maybe you'd consider helping us? TIKKUN
Magazine is in
dire financial straits because of our stance in support of both Israel and
Palestinian
rights. Partisans on both sides are dissatisfied with us, because we both
support
Israel's right to exist and refuse to define it as a racist idea that there
would be a
national homeland for the Jewish people, on the one hand, and on the other
hand we are
very critical of Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people, critique its
violations
of their human rights, and insist that Israel take partial responsibility
for the fate
of Palestinian refugees. No wonder we displease both sides--because our
position is
complex and morally based. So we are in deep need of financial support.
Might you
consider either making a tax-deductible contribution to TIKKUN (a
non-profit) or
buying $29 subscriptions for yourself and friends and colleagues? I would
sure
appreciate that kind of help. But whether or not you decide to help us in
that way, I
want to send you and all of humanity many blessings for a wonderful and
peace-filled
and joyous and spiritually deep and love-filled New Year. Blessings.

An Israeli Soldier says
A Note from a Military Prison
David Haham Herson | 08.05.2001
Of the terrible reports appearing daily in the press, I read here in Military Jail 4. No pictures, no soundtrack. I see only barbed wire fences, but the pain from outside goes deep. Revenge in return for revenge, killing in return for killing. Why, I ask, does the Jewish people generate so much suffering, why do we inflict - on others and ourselves - so much pain. What is the source of the Israeli sense of pride, why is the act of killing considered so great in our eyes.
I am a soldier in the Israeli army, imprisoned for refusal to take part in repression, arising from a sense that it is out of the question to be a Jew, the son of a people of refugees, and yet repress a people of refugees (there's no disagreement in the Israeli public regarding repression of the Palestinians, merely over whether or not it's justified). I am a God-fearing Jew, and as such forbidden to take part in denying freedom and serving in occupied territory. I am imprisoned, but yet feel freer than most of the Israelis I've met, for one simple reason: I don't bear the burden of vindictiveness and the perverse gratification attending it. I don't bear the burden of denial and callousness. I am concerned for humans as such. For those denied the right to live like me, with food and clothes and fun and good health and dreams of success and a car. I am concerned for people who are humiliated every day, who are denied the right to work, who are imprisoned within their towns and villages. I am concerned for those whose homes have been demolished and their fruit groves devastated.
I am concerned because I know that the terrible hatred towards me is justified. This hatred has led to horrifying and perverted manifestations, like the young suicide bombers, but we create the conditions that lead to this monstrosity. I am concerned because I know that the cries of exultation over the killings drown out the sobs of the numerous victims, Jews and Arabs, of the widows and orphans, of the cripples who will suffer for the rest of their lives because of that pride and callousness.
This is a concern unlike that of most of the Israeli people. For this concern demands correction [tikkun] whereas the other concern merely calls for more destruction. I am a prisoner yet free, but the pain runs deep. I hope my imprisonment, and that of others, will lead many in our society to contemplation - contemplation of the Palestinians, and by way of them, contemplation of ourselves. I regard my imprisonment as the true way to participate in presentday Israeli society. I don't think my imprisonment releases me from responsibility. Even if I weren't serving in the army, I'd continue to share responsibility for these actions. I'm not the victim. On the contrary: precisely because I regard myself as sharing responsibility, I refuse to take part in the repression.
I am a soldier and wish to serve my country. I am a part of Israeli society: that is where I find people I love, including some who act contrary to my convictions. They include right and left. I just want us Israelis - strong, triumphant - to look into the eyes of those we repress, and try to understand them. For the victory of might is no victory. Our fears will leave us only when we consent to equality between peoples and between individuals. We too shall continue to live in fear as long as we implement oppression and deny elementary rights.
Instead of justifying suffering - that which we inflict, and our own - we should try to solve it by self correction [tikkun atzmi]. Faith in tikkun is a weapon more powerful than tanks. I regard my imprisonment as a foundation for tikkun, and hope that by way of thinking about it, others will look at the reality about us, and contribute to change.
David Haham-Herson was born and raised in Israel.
