to drive out the non-Jewish population, and the Palestinian national movement, whose "genetic code" directs it to halt this drive and set up a Palestinian state in the entire country. This can be seen as the clash between "an irresistible force" and an "immovable object."
91. The task of the Israeli peace movement is to stop the historical clash, overcome the Zionist-Israeli "genetic code," and cooperate with the Palestinian peace forces, in order to enable a peace through historic compromise that will lead to reconciliation between the two peoples. The Palestinian peace forces have a similar task.
92. For this, diplomatic formulations of a future peace agreement are insufficient. The Israeli peace movement must be inspired by a new spirit that will touch the hearts of the other people, create faith in the possibility of peace and win the hearts of the Israeli sectors that are held captive by the old myths and prejudices. The peace movement must address the hearts and the minds of the entire Israeli public.
93. The small and consistent Israeli peace movements that held on and continued the struggle, when most of the peace camp collapsed in the wake of the Camp David debacle and the outbreak of the
al-Aqsa Intifada, must play a decisive role in this process.
94. These movements can be likened to a small wheel with an autonomous drive which turns a bigger wheel, which in turn
activates an even bigger wheel, and so on, until the whole
machinery springs into action. All the past achievements of the Israeli peace forces were attained that way, such as Israeli recognition of the existence of the Palestinian people, the wide public acceptance of the idea of a Palestinian state, the readiness to start negotiations with the PLO, to compromise on Jerusalem, and so on.
95. The new peace camp must lead public opinion towards a brave reassessment of the national "narrative" and rid it of falsities. It must sincerely strive to unite the historical versions of both peoples into a single "narrative," free from historical deceptions and acceptable to both sides.
96. While doing this, it must also help the Israeli public to recognize that, besides all the great and positive aspects of the Zionist enterprise, a terrible injustice has been inflicted on the Palestinian people. This injustice, most extreme during the Nakba, obliges us to assume responsibility and correct as much of it as possible.
97. A peace agreement is valueless unless both sides are able to accept
