Speaking at The Jerusalem Fund and Palestine Center in Dallas last week, Arab MK Hanin Zoabi (Joint Arab List) openly admitted that Jews do not have a right to self-determination, and that Israel should not exist as a Jewish state.

“It’s an equality which challenges the definition of Israel as a Jewish state,” Zoabi said. “We use this democracy — of course, there is a question of why you…give legitimacy to Israel when you are within the Knesset. This is true. So remember, I am telling you now that now we have the ability to use these tools, the democratic tools, for our own interests, for our own national approaching [sic]. The military regime (i.e., Israel — C.R.) tried to be more liberal, more sophisticated with us, and again more to negate our identity… It is not enough that Israel should exit, should leave Gaza and the West Bank. Zionism should leave also, from the whole area… There are articles in Haaretz, you can read. Israel now resembles Germany in the thirties… We also within this vision define the matter of self-determination, not for the Jews — for the Israelis.”

Zoabi then said that the Jewish people are not a nationality, but admitted Israel has a right to self-determination. “The answer we give is that the Jews are not (a) nationality, so we cannot talk about self-determination for the Jewish people,” Zoabi said. “But for the Israelis, they can have self-determination. But not as a Jewish state — within a secular democratic state.” …

Stuff about tribes throwing rocks at each other in the Levant for millennia and that it doesn’t serve America to maintain any alliance there with a certain tribe.

If I posted an article saying that leftists want to destroy France, would you respond that we should end out NATO alliance with France? Do you hate all countries other than America, or just Israel?

Look - it has nothing to do with any particular tribe over there. As far as I am concerned they are all come from the same squabbling, bickering, emotionally unstable roots.

M argument is supporting any of these tribes will do no good. The moment one tribe wins - said tribe will split and fight among themselves. Rinse; Repeat for next 5,000 years.

Every taxpayer penny used over there is squandered to no end.

I also have no problem if someone wishes to send money or otherwise support their favorite mideast tribe.

You dodn’t answer my question “If I posted an article saying that leftists want to destroy France, would you respond that we should end our NATO alliance with France? Do you hate all countries other than America, or just Israel?”
