Op-Ed: The Left has to make up its mind

Anyone who looks from the outside at the comments of the Israeli left on everything that happens in this country will have a hard time understanding what their real opinion is, what their agenda is based on, and what their real goal is.

Let me explain. The things that the left say have some sort of weird inconsistency. On one hand they are very concerned about human rights, especially refugees, Sudanese, Syrians, Palestinians, and all those they consider in need of such concern. For example their concern that the Sudanese refugees in Tel-Aviv should not be sent home to their war-stricken country, shows that they are pro- human rights, regardless of race, gender, and other particularist considerations.

However on the other hand, specifically in those circles, there is actually a dark type of racism. Their agenda, which is “Two States for Two Peoples” and separation from the Palestinian Arabs, comes because they want that the State of Israel will have a “Jewish Majority”, meaning they don’t want to see Palestinians near them. To achieve this racist goal they are willing to give over part of Eretz Yisrael, just so that they won’t have to live side by side with Arabs.

“A Multi-National State” is horrible, they claim. It’s terrible, one can imagine them saying, my neighbor will be an Arab!

The Left is for Eur-all-peons putting money in their bank accounts.

No the don't.

They take both sides of the same issue all the time. If it will help them win, they'll say anything they want. Doesn't make a particle of difference how much it contradicts what they said yesterday, or last year.

That's one of the nice things about owning the MSM.
