Mr Netanyahu thinks the Zionist mission was to give the Jewish people control over their destiny. No people has control over its destiny when it is at war with its neighbours. But in any case, that is only one way of thinking of the Zionist mission. Another mission frequently cited by early Zionists was to help Jews grow out of the "Ghetto mentality".
That should be the former editor of the Jerusalem Post, Haaretz and author of Peres' book on Ben-Gurion, the "rape Israel", Landau.
If so, he has a problem.
Zionism for everybody is returning Jews to history and control of our destiny to ourselves. Actually, we do have conbtrol even if we are at war. If those waging war against us are trying to control our destiny, fighting them and beating then is conbtrolling our destiny. How dumb is he? And if they are waging war without need, or reason or because of evil intent, well, maybe we are controlling their destiny? And that is exactly what is meant by extracting the Jews from a "Ghetto Mentality".
Those poor Economist readers.
