So what do you think of the idea of integrating educated, moderate Arabs into Israeli society as equals with existing Israelis if it enhances the chance for peace with Israel's neighbors in the region?

Israel already integrates 1 million Arab Israeli citizens. Doesn't help.


Lets suppose that it would help, and having the population of Israel be 60% Arab would guarantee acceptance of the country by all its Arab neighbors and together Israel and its neighbors would then collectively try to squash the Islamist nutcases. Would that appeal to you, or is maintaining an institutionalized separation from non-Jews more important than peace? I'm not asking you if you think it would work, I'm asking you if you assumed it would work, would you strive for it?

In other words, which ranks higher, peace or having a Jewish state?
