Hebrajski urzędowym w Polsce?

Wygląda na to, że to nie kabaret, że on to mówi całkiem serio.

We want to come back.
Perhaps there will never be a better time and we do not want to miss the opportunity.
We believe that even the most outrageous scenarios can come true.
Not Uganda, not Argentina, not Syria or Madagascar. Not even Palestine any more. It is Europe we are interested in. The land of our forefathers. In reality or in dream we constantly think of Poland.
We believe that Poland needs us just as much as we long for her. Squares in Warsaw, Łódź and Krakow shall be filled with new housing sites. The simple wooden constructions – with a wall and a tower – will remind you of the times when we bravely faced enemy attacks, when we changed from victims to eulogists of the new order, becoming our own rulers.

Just like many decades ago we want to again settle in this land, where nobody is expecting us. We believe that it is our fate to live here, have our families here, die here and bury the ashes of our dead here.
We want to heal the trauma - Ours and Yours. Once and for all.

We direct our appeal not only to Jews. We will welcome all those for whom there is no place in their homelands – the expelled and the persecuted. There will be no discrimination in our movement. We will not dig in your life stories, we will not check your residence cards or verify your refugee status. We shall be strong in our weakness.

Perhaps this return will not always be distinguished and victorious. We are filled with doubt, lack of confidence, hesitation. We do not plan an invasion. This will be more of a return of ghosts of the neighbours haunting you in your dreams – the neighbours you never expected to see again or those you have never had the chance to meet.

We will speak loud and clear about all those evil things which have happened between You and Us. We will materialize the long stifled fear of the return of the long lost acquaintance, who has undergone an unbelievable metamorphosis throughout all those years.

You will not recognise us, you cannot look us in the eye. You are afraid of the victims that can come back and demand what is duly theirs. But we do not want to feel like victims, and life in constant conflict bothers us painfully, sucks air out of us. You do subconsciously feel that the long gone Others do not have good memories of this place, that they may hold you accountable for much harm. But despite that, they are coming back, made stronger by the painful experience, work, new/old language, and one more war.

We want to correct the pages of history which never did take the course we had wanted it to. Welcome us with open arms. We do not want to scramble for this land, tear it out piece by piece, blackmailing you with courts and tribunals. We do not want to sneak under cover of the night. We hope that we will together be able to govern cities, farm land, bring up children. We hope our settlements will not be closed to anybody.

In dreams we go back not only to the beginnings of Jewish settlements in the Middle East but also to the pioneer times of Jewish farms in pre-war Poland. We are exhuming the Zionist phantasmagoria. We are reaching to the past – the imaginary world of migration, political and geographical shifts, the dissolution of reality as we know it. Perhaps this is a political scenario which can fill many with fear. In many of You, however, it sparks hope for a breakthrough and dissolution of a coarse mono-national monolith. In all the coarse literality we refer to what has/could/should come to fruition, to a scenario dug out of museum archives which can be kept alive only by means of some form of nationwide psychotherapy. This is our proposal in response to a time when faith has been exhausted, and old utopias are in crisis or have failed. Optimism is becoming extinguished. The paradises promised have been privatized. Apples and watermelons from kibbutzes are no longer as succulent. This is a past imperfect tense. Maybe it will be easier for us once we know that this dream that we have secretly admired turned out not to be so colourful after all? Perhaps then, we should implement it again, our way, for our own purpose? For us and for You, who look at our return with disbelief.

You will ask: why reopen old wounds, why recall old demons?

And we will respond: so that we can help our common and continuously rewritten history. We wish to invite You to join our Movement! We wish to welcome new settlers whose presence shall be the embodiment of a parallel history. We are facing one of the many potential futures that we can experience, leaving behind our safe, familiar, one-dimensional world.

We shall shed the feeling of guilt. We will be settlers, not occupants.

Newcomers, we await you!

Hosts, join us!
