All Italians adhere to the Italian founding lore (Starting from Dante Alighieri to Garibaldi & Mazzini)

All Frenchmen regard themselves as part to the coronation of Clovis, Bastille Day, the upheaval of the Commune de Paris and regard Descartes, Blaise Pascal and Marcel Proust as their estate ( I should mention this is the case of my father, a Rumanian Jew enlisted in ’39 in the Foreign Legion to fight fascism, and made a French citizen in ’46).

Likewise, the Jewish people are those who adhere in some form to the lore of Exit from Egypt and anything that comes thereafter. History has proven how much safer it is to secure this claim by means of the might of a state.

And I can see no reason other than bigotry or racism to deny that claim.

So far so good. But even if it is an establish practice to “favor the majority in some way”, not every way has to be accepted.

For example, the culture of the majority can be threatened (or perceived to be threatened) by an excessive number of shops run by a minority. Nevertheless a policy of breaking windowns in those shops would not be regarded as reasonable outside certain narrow circles.

And now suppose that the majority is worried about the problem of too many dwelling being occupied by the minority. A policy of bulldozing those dwellings does not seem to be more reasonable than breaking windows in shops. Except for folks like NGO Monitor who finds that opposition to the policy of house demolition “satisfies the modern criteria of antisemitism.” And so is the opposition to reserving some roads for the use of the majority.

I think (believe) that Israel does not HAVE TO resort to such policies and could exists like any other ethnic state. But NGO Monitors has a different opinion, and apparently Warren agrees. And he draws the conclusion that the concept of “Jewish State” entails supremacism.

So here is my answer to Steve’s question: why many people support one-state solution. Because they believe Steinberg, Netanyahu and others that the Israel cannot survive as a Jewish State without many policies which are worse than breaking windows in shops, and thus it should not survive in that form. Instead, Hebrew speaking Jews may find some other ways of maintaining their cultural and religious identity, perhaps in so-called “one state”.

However, to find such ways they would have to recognized that the current policies are no better than breaking windows in Jewish shops, and thus wrong even if they are supposed to have LIMITED DURATION, or are SUBJECT OF REVIEW, or VOLUNTARY.

My response: No, the “homeland for the Jews” is the same as the homelands for the muslims, and the homelands for the Arabs, and the homeland for the Japanese, and the homeland for the Italians, and the homeland for ever other ethnic group that has a homeland. Every single one of these places favors the majority in some way to maintain their cultural identity in their home state.

Unless, of course, you’re dishonest and bigoted against Jews. Then you make up dishonest accusations that Jews having a homeland is somehow about “superiority.”

Does NGO Monitor support censorship in what is supposed to be “the only democracy in the Middle East?” Obviously NGO monitor doesn’t give a damn about democracy or free speech and they prove it with every one of their reports.

So any country in the world that has a government, supported by a population, that says this country is only for those of a particular ethnic group, or religion, or culture, cannot be a democracy, regardless of how hard it tries to claim that is so. And not being a democracy will unavoidably progressive and steadily descend into the only other possible human form of government: a form of fascism. And that is exactly what is occurring in Israel.

This “homeland for the Jews” is a euphemism for “we are the greatest, and this superiority image ingrained deep in our bones has resulted in constant oppression in many lands in which we lived; but instead of getting rid of that unwarranted view of superiority, and learning to co-exist in peace and harmony with our neighbors in every country in the world in which we live, we’ve decided it was pure racism and we need a homeland where we can protect ourselves from all such oppression; and that fact that we did the same things to the natives of that land, and continue to do them to this day, as was done to us for 2,000 years is ignored by us as too difficult to defend given our claim to be civilized, democratic, and western in our morals and motives.”

It is not crazy to want to get rid of a Jewish state, it is rational, peace oriented, and the only way to save the Zionists from eventually destroying themselves. Keep that Jewish State, and eventually you will have leaders who make Lieberman look like Gandhi.

What do you think finding 10 or 15 Israelis who hate and criticize Israel infinitely more than most Israelis accomplishes?

Very few Jewish Israelis want a “one-state solution” that ends Israel’s existence as a Jewish homeland. Yet a big stack of them are right here. What does this say to you?

There is nothing “right-wing” about wanting the world’s only Jewish state to be safe and continue to exist, hopefully forever, as a Jewish state. The Muslim states want to exist forever too. Same with the ethnic states. Japan isn’t looking to become Chinese anytime soon. Italy isn’t looking to merge with France. States want to keep existing. But somehow a bunch of people who pretend to be “peace activists” want the world’s only Jewish state erased, and it’s pretty crazy
