Hannah Einbinder’s “Cultural Awakening”: Zionism Survives Through Genocide

According to Cinemadrame News Agency, Hannah Einbinder, the American comedian and star of the series Hacks, has published messages on Instagram calling on Hollywood celebrities not to remain silent in the face of the genocide of the Palestinian people.

She writes:
“It seems that in recent days, the genocide in Gaza has reached such an intensity that many people in media and Hollywood have been forced, for the first time, to speak out. Although I am extremely angry about this long delay, I tried to remember that it is still not too late, and that these voices are vital to continue the cultural awakening around Israel and Zionism.”

Einbinder adds:
“What is happening in Gaza is systemic destruction, famine, and mass killing of Palestinians with American bombs—a total torture and holocaust—and it is necessary for the growth of Zionism. I want to emphasize that I am addressing people who consider themselves liberal Zionists, those who have moved toward reality but have not yet crossed that threshold. Please, I beg you, listen to me.”

She goes on to say,
“Zionism requires willful ignorance,” and its supporters must cover their eyes in the face of reality:
“I had to believe all the justifications that had ever been given for Israel’s existence and survival. Do you still think I grew up anti-Zionist? No. If in the past I had read a message like the one I have written, I would have felt ill, become angry, and rushed to defend. I would have frowned and dismissed it as unimportant. I ask everyone to move beyond that unpleasant feeling. Take one step beyond the immediate acceptance of all the institutional beliefs that have raised us, and judge for yourself—have true critical thinking!”

Einbinder says that for most Zionist supporters,
“the truth is simply too painful”:
“Because Zionism wants you to dehumanize the Palestinian people and have no connection to their suffering.”
At the end of her message, she recommends a few books and writes:
“The reason for this genocide is not that Bibi [Netanyahu] is right-wing. This genocide is necessary for the growth of this ideology.”
She had previously written in another story:
“There is no Judaism in Zionism, and it has no liberal form.”
