Il pensiero di H. Arendt è nato ed è stato nutrito nell’ambito di un messianesimo ‘antimessianico’ e, soprattutto, nell’ambito di una concezione assolutamente fideistica ed esclusivista, antitetica a tutto il percorso degli avanzamenti del pensiero filosofico, giuridico e politico, ‘valoriale’ europeo presenti in nuce in Colucci Salutati ed esplicati pienamente dall’Umanesimo e dal Rinascimento e dall’Illuminismo in poi con le interminabili e vivificanti *irradiazioni spirituali.
Esso metteva e mette innanzitutto davanti alla realtà la truculenta e folle ambizione di una ‘patria ebrea’ (in cui sussiste la teorica identità fra dato religioso e dato etnico) da parte di elementi di popolazioni quasi del tutto non semite.
Esso metteva e mette detta truculenta brama davanti a un popolo – quello palestinese – e all’intero mondo il dichiarare che quella terra, fosse stata e sia pure meno di un ettaro, era e sia la sua ‘patria’.
Oggi ne stiamo prendendo coscienza via via tante persone di qualsiasi nazione. Siamo stati lungamente soggiogati da una radicale e allucinante manipolazione, di cui sono state innanzitutto vittime le élite politiche, culturali e dell’informazione europee e statunitensi, sia cristiane e confessionalmente praticanti, sia quelle liberali e agnostiche sin dalla seconda metà dell’ ‘800.
In Palestina, potranno continuare a vivere i cosiddetti ‘ebrei’ che i palestinesi vorranno accogliere. Non vi è altra possibilità.

The Madness Must End. A Word for the 90% Who Haven’t Spoken Up so far…It is time to move beyond the binary of “Pro-Israel” and “Pro-Palestine.” It is time to address the disaster we have all been watching unfold, and most importantly, it is time for the silent majority to find their voice.I’ve been reflecting on the work of Hannah Arendt—one of the most important Jewish voices of the 20th century. In 1948, the year of Israel’s founding, she wrote an essay titled “To Save the Jewish Homeland.” Her words were prophetic. Today, they feel urgent.Arendt argued that without a prior settlement between Jews and Arabs, the “fulfilment of the Jewish claim to a homeland” would inevitably end in disaster. She warned that a “victorious” Israel, surrounded by hostile populations, would become a nation consumed by physical self-defense to the detriment of all other interests.This is not anti-Zionism; this is realism.Arendt’s core warning was threefold:
1. The Threat of Extremism: She called for the elimination of terrorist groups within the Jewish community, specifically condemning the massacre at Deir Yassin. She understood that violence aimed at disrupting “neighbourly relations” would create an unbridgeable chasm.
2. The Trap of the “Galuth Mentality”: She feared that post-Holocaust trauma had led Zionists to adopt a cynical belief in universal antisemitism. This “fighting at any price” mentality, she warned, risked the very survival of the Jewish people by cutting them off from moral grounding.
3. The Illusion of Victory: She foresaw that even if Israel won the war, it would be a hollow victory—”secluded inside ever-threatened borders, absorbed with physical self-defence.”Her solution was not the immediate statehood we saw, but a gradual path towards a binational Jewish-Arab federation, supported by a UN trusteeship. She worked alongside Judah Magnes, a Zionist president of the Hebrew University, who foresaw the exact crisis we are living through today.Arendt lamented that when Magnes spoke to the Jewish people, “they heard him and chose not to listen.” She described him as the “conscience of the Jewish people”—and noted that by ignoring that conscience, “we all know that this change has come about since Auschwitz but this is little consolation. The fact is that nobody among the Jewish people could succeed Magnes. This is a measure of his greatness; it is, by the same token, the measure of our failure.”Why am I sharing this?
Because we are living the reality of Arendt’s worst fears. We are watching a “War of Rebirth” that extends borders from Gaza to Lebanon, surrounded by hostility.As Arendt said: “One can win many battles without winning a war.”To the 90% who have never spoken up—whether you are Jewish, Arab, or neutral—this is not about choosing a side. It is about choosing humanity. Arendt’s essay concluded that the alternative was “the only way of saving the reality of the Jewish homeland.” It is not a “stab in the back” to advocate for peace; it is the only survival strategy.It is time to end the madness. It is time to speak up for the future that Arendt and Magnes begged us to see.What unites us must be stronger than what divides us. Justice must be the cornerstone of our communal existence.hashtag#HannahArendt hashtag#Israel hashtag#Palestine hashtag#Peace hashtag#History hashtag#Leadership hashtag#LinkedIn ha
