To save anyone else the trouble, this is an AI translation of renderererered's post, above:
I, one person, one small citizen, am simply stopping being silent. Because I can no longer remain silent. The hidden is pressing on every nerve.
We, if it is still possible to define us this way, Israelis, Jews, people, human beings. A style. A style that has become empty. A style of thought, a style of history, a style of philosophy, a style, a style, a style.
To my sorrow, we have changed ourselves, and the Israel I knew no longer exists. We must move through this. This part must separate from the process.
The values, the way things were concealed, and all the talk of “explanation” about it. We organized a sequence of celebrations around our environment. This is not okay; we are not comforted. As if nothing exists. But something does exist, and it still burns. Yes, I will say this: the Israel of operation rooms (the “foundations”) with its Israel of offices, together, are all one illness. Small, local, and yet arranged. A structure that we have been making in this region for decades, and the price is only now beginning to reveal itself in one thing alone: a deep explosion. A sharp explosion. Yes, there are “Jewish Nazis.”
From psychology and philosophy they talk about healing and forgiveness. Whoever breaks a trauma probably deserves good treatment and will do it one way or another. But not every wound heals. There are wounds that see and know what happened. I remained stuck in a certain way. In a particular pain. A part of me. And everyone whose soul was torn apart in these years.
But no. There is no need to kill. No need for revenge. Not violence. Light for nations is not empty slogans.
No one should be blamed against learning what we have done to others. And I say to others too. Not only to ourselves, because this is a wider wound. More fundamental. A state is only part of the people. The people are not the state. Knowledge, tradition, culture, philosophy, religion, and history are all there. These came before us. Knowledge. Thought. Ideas. Not a conquest in itself.
Friends, the time has come to do something. And I immediately propose one thing. Let us come as a people and commit ourselves to a little truth. Let us stop with this cult of labor. A local and national person. Without politics or identities. Whether one is a nationalist or not—that does not matter at all. How one looks does not matter. What matters is very little: to hold on to difficulty and to be willing to bring it out.
So let us come and create meetings with people from all backgrounds. We can do this in a small way. But we must bring every hurt, every wound, every terror, and learn from the traumas that came before us...
Every pain and every fear. This great forgetting. These deteriorations.
Only then, perhaps, will the institutions we built take on a better form. Let us move forward with ourselves. If we are able to tolerate complexity and confusion, we will have a future. If there is a people, there will be something that emerges from it with significance.
Genuine freedom.
With love and honesty,
Altoni
