Disowning Israel's Arab Minority ...?
Disowning Israel's Arab Minority ...?
[on Fareed Zakaria Washington Post article]
The borders of Israel, as currently delineated,
are not sustainable. They do not separate one
people from the other... which is what all
international borders must eventually be
designed to do--regardless of ethnicity, as in
the United States and most everywhere else
... or because of it, as in the Middle East, in
Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and everywhere one people
have been incorporated into another people's
country without their expressed consent.
If we have seen these objections being
raised in Spain and Britain, we shall
certainly see them being raised elsewhere!
So, whether the redrawing of Israel's borders
along its ethnic fault-lines happens now or
later, there must absolutely eventually occur
a redrawing of Israel's borders which leave
one country almost entirely Jewish and the
other almost entirely Arab. This is REALITY.
And one can damn the Jews for being realists
at last, or damn them for not being realists
until then (as it appears to forever be the
habit of us non-Jews to damn Jews no matter
what they do). But in the end, if it doesn't
happen the result will be a quite horrific
"civil" war that will redraw them in blood
and with blood. That is the alternative.
So better to do it sooner than later: It will be
a far more civilized a project if it is done by
cool heads rather than by inflamed emotions.
