Palestinians: Settlement Expansion Means 1 State

[Ken Burch]

99. Why DIDN'T I confront him, then?

I support Israel's right to exist(within the pre-1967 lines, which is more than enough). It's just that, while I oppose a single-state solution, I don't see those who advocate it as intrinsically evil. In North America and Europe, they are basically idealists(most of whom backed a two-state solution at one point)who became convinced that the Israeli government was never gong to be fair to Palestinians on the matter. Support for a single-state solution is the child of frustration and despair, and some of those who support that were at one time some of the most passionate defenders of the creation of Israel.

The way to counteract that feelings that have increased support for a single-state is to push the Israeli government to stop acting in the way it has acted for years now...or, in the short run, to work for the defeat of the current governing coalition there, because it is that coalition that has done more to nurture the cause of antizionism than any other in Israeli history, with its arrogance and its bloody-minded fixation on "winning the war", whether doing so is of any real value any longer.

And I oppose antisemitism as I oppose all forms of bigotry(including anti-Arabism and anti-Muslimism, both of which are equally toxic).

There is no dark intent in my posts, Aegis. There never has been.
