The only solution to the Israeli-Pali conflict will be a Victor's Peace. Its just a matter of picking sides now.
I don't know which is worse: the fact that Massad is a tenure-track professor at Columbia (who has not yet come up for tenure, however) or the fact that among the sponsors of this farce include the Human Rights program of SIPA (Columbia’s School of Public Affairs), the office of the University Chaplain, Student Services and the Student Senate.
Where are the advocates of the one-state solution in which Israel would maintain its sovereignty over the land west of the Jordan River while granting internal autonomy to Palestinian Arabs?
Why was there no discussion of relocating Israel's nearly 1.5 million Palestinian Arab "refugees" (who, as refugees, disclaim any right to permanent settlement in their current location) to Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt or even Iraq?
When Columbia supports a program as tendentious as this one, it expends its intellectual capital. If it does this often enough, it will find that it has been diminished in formulating an academic approach to global political issues as much as CBS and The New York Times have in journalism.
Seems to me that's been happening as long as I've been alive. A victor's peace because the Arabs are irrational, dishonest and unethical. Everyone knows this. But people have that ability to be like ostriches. We are doing that right here in the good old USA with the same attitude. The Jews can bury their heads in the sand of the desert they turned into an oasis. They can give back their victor's spoils and try to make peace. Hopefully the Arabs won't destroy them in the process.
Perhaps we could declare a policy of irredentism with respect to Columbia and reclaim the territory and install us irredentas.
