Healing Israel/Palestine

By |

The relations between Israelis and Palestinians have been a major theme of Tikkun magazine since its inception. Our Israel/Palestine page includes all our current articles and will gradually come to include all our archived articles. These articles include a range of opinion, including ones we disagree with. Our editorial policy on Israel and Palestine is encapsulated in Michael Lerner’s book Embracing Israel/Palestine, and in the many editorials he has written down the years, which will gradually be posted on his editorial page. Click here for his 2008 essay on the sixtieth anniversary of the state of Israel.

In the tradition of the ancient Hebrew prophets, Tikkun has been a strong critic of any unethical government or powerful group. At the same time we have espoused utopian dreams, firmly holding that every amazing historical advance towards a more equal and caring society has been dismissed as unrealistic and utopian right up to the moment it happened, at which point it has been deemed inevitable. Neither view is right. These advances would not have happened without activists who believed the most realistic thing to do was to dream big. Nonviolent change requires study, practice, spiritual depth, friends, and bold dreams and initiatives: in short, movements.
