520 "Judith Butler follows Edward Said's late suggestion that
only through a consideration of Palestinian dispossession
in relation to Jewish diasporic traditions will a new
ethos for a one-state solution emerge. Butler engages some
forms of Jewish intellectual criticism of political
Zionism and its practices of illegitimate state violence,
nationalism, and state-sponsored racism. At the same time,
she moves beyond communitarian frameworks, including
Jewish ones, that fail to arrive at a radical democratic
notion of political cohabitation. As important as it is to
dispute Israel's claim to represent the Jewish people, it
is equally important, Butler argues, to show that a
narrowly Jewish framework cannot suffice as a basis for an
ultimate critique of Zionism. She promotes an ethical
position in which the obligations of cohabitation do not
derive from cultural sameness but from the unchosen
character of social plurality. Recovering the arguments of
Jewish thinkers who offered criticisms of Zionism or whose
work could be used for such a purpose, Butler disputes the
specific charge of anti-Semitic self-hatred often leveled
against Jewish critiques of Israel. Her political ethic
relies on a vision of cohabitation that exposes the limits
of every communitarian framework, including Jewish ones,
to overcome the colonial legacy of Zionism. Her own
engagements with Said and Mahmoud Darwish are important to
her articulation of the displacement of communitarian
thought. Butler draws upon some Jewish traditions of
thought to consider the rights of the dispossessed, the
necessity of plural cohabitation, and the dangers of
arbitrary state violence, showing how they can be extended
to a critique of Zionism, even when that is not their
purpose. Butler engages thinkers such as Edward Said,
Emmanuel Levinas, Hannah Arendt, Primo Levi, Martin Buber,
Walter Benjamin, and Mahmoud Darwish. She revisits and
affirms Edward Said's late proposals for a one-state
solution. Butler's startling suggestion: Jewish ethics not
only demand a critique of Zionism, but must transcend its
exclusive Jewishness in order to realize the ethical and
political ideals of living together in radical democracy"-
