One-State Solution
Re: ‘Anger over Israel floods other frustrations,’ Theo Caldwell, July
22, 2010.
Theo Caldwell invites readers to “tell us what Israel should do” to
solve the Palestinian problem.
With hundreds of thousands of Jewish colonists settled in the West
Bank, it’s obvious the two-state solution is no longer viable -- no way
would Israeli soldiers obey orders to massively expel the Jewish
colonists.
Hence, a one-state solution. Israel absorbs the West Bank and grants
Israeli citizenship to all Arabs, she gives them equal rights. Israel
would, of course, cease being an exclusively Jewish state. But the
present status quo is unsustainable, for what it yields is an apartheid
regime so flagrant in its daily abuses of Palestinian rights that, over
time, even Israel’s American Sugar Daddy would look to distance itself
from such to save face.
