I got an idea: Free choice (with $$$ incentives to the person and her family) to the Arabs and no such thing to the Jewish population! Taro

I think it is an experiment that the Jews have every right* to try and we should support them, yes.* What makes you believe the Jews have the right to establish a country which benefits them to the exclusion of others (much less the right to do so on land that has been someone elses for 200 years)? Where did they get this "right" from, in your mind? And why in the world should the US support this endeavor which is anethemic to the rights and values established in our constitution and declaration of independence (all men created equal)?

>My point is that the Jews may find that their Democracy works in the short term, now that they are a majority. But if ever they start to live in peace with the Muslims and more and more Arabs gain citizenship, eventually the Muslims will demand their fair share of representation. Then Israel will collapse. How will they forestall this? One way is by continuing to actively repatriate diaspora Jews. But that has a dead end as well. If they divest themselves of the "territories," they're probably a solid century away from that, at least. But if they get there, the only fair ways I can see that they can keep their state are to bring in more Jews (and there aren't THAT many more Jews, and most likely wouldn't be interested in coming), or to buy out the Arabs (who likely wouldn't leave). So, there goes Israel. Nice to know ya. -Z
