“Being a Zionist is the path to peace”.
There is hope in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Dr Einat Wilf is a deep thinker on the Israel’s ever present challenge: the pursuit of existence in peace and security.
It was an honour to host the Q and A session for StandWithUs UK as Einat addressed London's South Hampstead Synagogue.
She was born in Jerusalem, raised in a Labour Zionist family and completed her Israeli military service as an Intelligence Officer with the rank of Lieutenant.
Einat then went to Harvard University, got a BA in government and fine arts before earning an MBA from INSEAD in France and a PhD in political science at Wolfson College, Cambridge.
Einat describes herself as a Zionist, a feminist and an atheist.
She says The Abraham Accords has created a competing narrative in the Arab world. We’re hearing it in the Gulf from a new generation of peace loving Arabs who recognise the path to growth - economic and spiritual.
I expressly heard it myself on my recent trip to the UAE.
Listen to this clearsighted analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how being a Zionist will eventually lead to peace..
