As for the subject of the article, I think it is spot on. The Arabs (and Persians) will not accept a Jewish nation where Israel is located, ever, just as America would not accept a Communist American homeland were it forced on us in the state of Maryland in 1948, right next to DC. The Arabs may (perhaps, I have no proof, but it intuitively makes sense) accept a multi-cultural Pasreal. Thus support for Israel is support for endless war, while progress for the idea of Pasreal has the possibility of both bringing peace, and setting an example for the rest of the Arab world of how to separate church and state, and live peacefully among other people, something the sooner they do they better.
You say a multi-cultural Arabia will never work. I say multicutluralism works in America (it must), it could work in Pasreal and it could work in Lebanon with the expulsion of Hezbollah. Unfortunately we lack the Arab SI poster's opinion on the topic,since most of SI is western tech stock investors (not many Pal refugees here, I assume). |
