Avraham Burg Part 2: The 1-state solution 'will happen by itself'

By Mick Krever, CNN

Avraham Burg says obsession with the holocaust is destroying Israel.

That may seem a strange statement, especially from an orthodox Jew and former 
speaker of the Knesset, but Burg says it is unhealthy.

“It’s too much,” he told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “If you are traumatized, go 
through it. Don’t deny it. Don’t silence it. … [But] I see a day already in 
which the last holocaust survivor will pass away. It will happen in our 
lifetime. Then we shall wake up one day, one morning, and the holocaust will 
not be any more a personal experience, but it will be a kind of collective 
memory.”

For Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to compare Iran to Germany in 
1938, Burg said, is exploiting Israel’s traumas.

“I write about the different strategy for the future memory,” he said. “A 
strategy of trust between us and the world, rather that one of permanent 
trauma.”

Reconciliation is possible, says Burg, and one need look no further than 
Germany itself. FULL POST
