Your Morning Ashrawi/Gur

For Wednesday July 8th, 2026

You can’t simply redefine Jerusalem. The Palestinian claim is based on legality, on the international recognition that the situation created by the war in ‘67 is not valid —Hanan Ashrawi

And then beginning in 67, you also have, a religious Zionist movement that says something completely different. It’s not the secular socialist left governments thinking how do we protect our territory against a future invasion, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask in 1967. It’s people who say the worst century of Jewish history also has become the great century of Jewish history in which the Jews all returned to the land. All of this is prophecy. We are in a messianic age and the coming of the Jews to their homeland is the heart of our story and the heart of the story of the world. —Haviv Rettig Gur
