On September 14, an Israeli Peace Coalition put together a list of 50 reasons to support a unilateral decision for Palestinian state
(cf. Gideon Levy in Haaretz: Israel does not want a Palestinian state. Period.)
Abbas would be a gift, were Israel not held hostage by fearmongers like Netanyahu and his ilk. The “Jewish world” – see that Republican/Repugnant victory yesterday in Brooklyn (cf. NYTimes editorial) – is apparently at the mercy all of kinds of short-term “easy” solutions.
The Wiesenthal Center has been hijacking the Holocaust for a very long time now and parading light-headed Hollywood trophies to spout their “Never Again” slogan- which criminally seems to apply only to Jews.
Time to read again:
Former Israeli MK’s Abraham Burg’s “The Holocaust Is Over: We Must Rise From its Ashes?” and the classic, Buber’s “A Land of Two People.”
In Haaretz, Bradley Burston summarizes it this way:
1. It restores the issue of Palestine from the back-burner to the world’s biggest stage, without resort to violence.
3. The timing underscores and leverages Israel’s perfect storm of diplomatic isolation.
6. It may prompt and encourage non-violent Palestinian protest in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
8. The Palestinians’ secret weapon I: Avigdor Lieberman.
9. The Palestinians’ secret weapon II: The Settlers.
10. The Palestinians’ secret weapon III: Benjamin Netanyahu.
