Jerusalem, 7 October 2034
Hypothetical news reporter Ifit Wereso reports on the statement issued by the IPRM in wake of the collapse of the Zionist led coalition government in Israel.
Marwan Barouki, the leader of the Israel-Palestine Liberation Movement (IPRM), which is in alliance with the Jewish led Palestine-Israel Liberation Movement (PIRM) headed by Stefania Goldberg, today addressed Jews all over the world in a brief statement.
“Had you come as Jews, you would have met with no resistance from us. But that now is the past. We understand why and do not condemn you, and ask that you understand why we resisted you and do not condemn us. Let Zionism and nationalism fall away, let us stand together as one people in one land, so that we may begin the process of healing and building a new society, one based on equality, empathy, selflessness and the shared gaols of happiness, prosperity and peace.”
PIRM will shortly be releasing a statement that is widely expected to echo Barouki’s words. It is thought the two statements were drafted jointly by both organizations. It is also expected that the unification of the two parties will also be announced at a not too distant date, forming one body in the struggle against Zionism, the last remaining settler-colonial ideology. In the wake of the collapse of the Zionist led coalition government in Israel, questions are being asked whether Zionism is not now a relic from the past, with many Jews having deserted the Zionist parties and many more renouncing Zionism altogether, seeing it as a hindrance to peace and the root cause of the 127-year conflict.
