Does one more diatribe against Israel published by The New York Times matter?
In recent years, the Times has had an open-door policy for those who oppose not just the policies of the Israeli government but also the whole idea of a Jewish state. So the publication last week of a piece by Atlantic columnist Peter Beinart explaining Why I No Longer Believe in a Jewish State and opting for a single nation of both Arabs and Jews, instead of a two-state solution didnt really break new ground.
Whats important, though, about Beinarts decision to switch from self-proclaimed liberal Zionist critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to advocate for, in effect, dismantling Israel is that support for his article isnt confined to the usual far-left suspects who oppose the Jewish states existence.
Key Democratic foreign-policy operatives like Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and former Clinton and Obama State Department official Robert Malley tweeted their support for Beinarts bravery and thoughtfulness as well as the importance of the discussion hes trying to initiate.
Rhodes and Malley are typical of the sort of people who may well be in control of US foreign policy come January if former Vice President Joe Biden wins the presidency. If they think the unimaginable prospect of a 72-year-old vibrant and successful nation surrendering and allowing itself to be transformed into a binational entity rather than the sole Jewish state on the planet is worth discussing, then something ominous is percolating inside the liberal foreign-policy establishment that will be handed the reins of government if President Trump loses in November.

Maybe mossad needs to make some house calls on the editors/writers of the NY Slimes.
I don’t understand the comment “a nation for both arabs and jews”
Isn’t Israel ALREADY that?
I read Israel already has a very large arab community and that they coexist with no problems, and that it is an example for all the other countries in the region on how to go about it.
Why get rid of something that works?
You should ask your liberal Jewish friends what euphemisms they would have used to talk about Uncle Joe’s Second Holocaust, which was planned for 1953 and beyond...
Expanding control?
Or rather reasserting control of the territories they already won on a bloody war for their survival..
The greatest mistake of Israel was to go along with the ‘land for peace’ scam.
The Left in the United States and Israel have recognized that the US lefty Resistance model works really well.
The problem in Israel would be simliar to the mysterious Iranian explosions:
The Israeli Resistance would start disappearing.
The Left needs Arab embeds in the government to put a damper on that.
So yes, Israel is already that, but it's not a topic where the left lets facts get in the way
commie-jihadi alliance = dummiecraps & lefturd loons
Democrats might want to be VERY CARFUL picking a fight with Israel.
Unless I have missed something, Israel has not lost a war since 1948!
