Israel, Just How It Reads

Fanatics. All of them.

Just as Israel’s population is 20 per cent Arab, it appears that the new Palestinian state, roughly along the 1967 borders comprising Gaza and the whole of the West Bank, will have many Jewish citizens. Jewish settlers who chose to stay will be Palestinians in a secular state.
And perhaps that’s a good thing

Imagine an Arab doing the same thing as this settler. He’d be drawn and quartered.

Coalition government. What you get when nobody’s really in control.
Mr. Obama would do well to recognize that Mr. Netanyahu doesn’t hold sufficient power to represent his nation in negotiations, and should speak publically to the Israeli populace about whether it wishes peace or to go on fighting.
Is this any different than the guy in Wichita?

have you noticed lately israeli officials and pundits using the term “jewish state”? few years ago, if israel was referred to this way, the speaker would have been pounced upon as being anti-semitic. now the term has become fashionable. is this tacit admission that israel is an apartheid state?
