Thank you for a very perceptive and revealing post.
For the life of me, I don't understand how "conservatives" who purport to believe in the inalienability of rights, can look the other way when it comes to the rights of Palestinians.
Racial segregation has been a miserable failure everywhere it has been tried. It is anathema to our American sensibility. And yet we continue to subsidize Israel to the tune of $30 billion per year to practice the sort of racial segregation we locked people up for in this country decades ago.
The choices this author offers are obvious to any educated observer in the Middle East. Ultimately, they lead to the same end as the roadmap.
Unfortunately for many Freepers it seems, neither genocide nor ethnic cleansing are options for a civilized society. As the author points out, ultimately Israel must choose between racial separatism or pluralism.
You are seriously stupid if you think Israel gets 30 billion each year from us. The rest of your post is no better. You want to see an apartheid/segregated nation go visit any Arab nation. They eveicted all their Jews (Israel took in most of these refugees) and have constant wars between their ethnic factions. Such as in Iraq where the Sunnis stomped on/lorded over the Kurds and Shii'ites for decades. Same situation in Syria where the Alewite Muslims are 10% of the population yet rule the others. In 1982 the Syrian dictator killed 20,000 Muslims (women children too) from another sect in Hama Syria
I think your concerns can be answered simply by considering how many Jewish and Christian books are available in a country like Saudi Arabia vs how many Muslim books are available in Israel. The answer to such a question will determine what kind of society we wish to have in Israel. I happen to think the problem is not religion per se, but rather the totalitarian mindset that has led Arabs into the realm of socialism and naziism for the last hundred years or so.
