The movement runs several programs which seek to educate Jewish diaspora youth on the intricacies of the Arab-Israeli conflict by exposing them to a diverse array of individuals, both Jewish and Palestinian, who've personally taken part in hostilities or have been impacted by them.[10]
Hebrew Universalism is a Jewish cultural, religious, and political philosophy which synthesizes aspects of Zionism, Haredi non-Zionism, and humanism.[11] Members believe Zionism failed to fully fulfill Jewish liberation and recognize the early Zionists utilized European-style settler-colonial tactics to establish the State of Israel, leading to the Nakba.[12]
The Jewish people constitutes a proud ancient civilization with a unique culture, worldview, traditions and homeland. But as a result of our displacement and many centuries of oppression, several aspects of our identity have been stolen from us or diluted to the point of becoming barely recognizable. Every people that experiences liberation must subsequently engage in a postcolonial conversation. VISION promotes conversations aimed at decolonizing Jewish identity as a necessary component of rebuilding Hebrew civilization in the modern age.[14]
Canaanism, specifically the Canaanism espoused by the Semitic Action group, has heavily influenced the movement as well. Rav HaKohen reformed Semitic Action in 2011 and the group regularly contributes to VISION's online magazine.[15]
