Zehava Galon, head of Meretz, spoke about Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, as being the greatest project of the governments of Israel, and the main threat to Israel.  The occupation should have been temporary and not fifty years long.  She noted that the Likud and Naftali Bennet discuss the “messianic fantasy” of annexation without citizenship, which is “apartheid,” in her terms. This project stops critical voices.  It seeks to destroy the courts, the press, the academia, civil society, whoever dares to criticize turns into an enemy of the state.  She notes the anti-democratic legislation taking place, the removal of women from public places, and so forth.  She claims that the people of Israel do not agree to this project and will not send sons to die for this, nor will we oppress Palestinians forever.
