Through a critical analysis of the prevailing discourse of Zionist intellectuals and activists on the Jewish democratic state, Honig-Parnass uncovers the Zionist left's central role in laying the foundation for the colonial settler state of Israel by articulating its hegemonic ideology and legitimising - even if implicitly - the apartheid treatment of Palestinians. He then goes on to advocate one state with equal rights for all as the only means to a just peace for Jews and Palestinians alike.
Tikva Honig-Parnass was raised in the Jewish community of pre-state Palestine, fought in the 1948 war and served as the secretary of the then Radical Left Zionist Party of Mapam (The Unified Workers Party) in the Knesset ( 1951-1954). In '60 she definitively broke with Zionism and joined the ranks of the Israeli Socialist Organization, known as "Matzpen". Since then she has played an active role in the movement against the '67 occupation as well as in the struggle for the Palestinian national rights.
