Thank you "real news network"!!!

He's right: The Zionist view of Israel as an exclusively *Jewish* state is the core of the problem (Rather than Jews just migrating to and living peacably in the region, as they did 1880-1920's or so). But Jewish exceptionalism is at the core of Judaism, with the whole "Chosen People" bullshit. I don't expect them to reconsider the implications of this until faced with the cold, hard reality of on-the-ground fact, when, in forty years, the Israeli Arab population becomes the majority. Settle in.

@lastnymleft THE CORE PROBLEM IS THE PLA AND HAMAS CHARTERS SAY THEY WANT TO DESTROY ISRAEL WHICH OBVIOUSLY INCLUDES MURDERING ALL JEWS. SO PLEASE STOP MAKING UP THATTHE JEWISH STATE IS THE KEY. AFTER ALL MANY OF THE ARAB COUNTRIES ARE RACIST. THEY DONT OR WILL NOT ALLOW JEWS INTO THEIR COUNTRIES. SO PLEASE

Aijaj Ahmed is among the greatest intellectuals of India. I like his clarity of thought and rigorous analysis.

We would be going back into the past instead or forward into the future.

[foketesz]

And he's right. U can't make a religion-specific state. Religion is not universal nor undisputed.

[foketesz]

Jews are a minority in the US, and I don't suppose you are implying that they are discriminated against.

[cardieunion]

No, Israeli nukes are a weapon of last resort, just like America's nukes, Russia's nukes, China's nukes, etc.

[cowcidile]

Why don't you drop a nuke on the gaza strip. Then I won't have to hear your arrogant chest thumping anymore.

the question this guy needs to ask himself is what the Hindus in India would do if their Hindu 90% majority would be in risk. what would Americans would do if the christian majority would be at risk. or the europeans. and what the Arabs would do if their Muslim majority and so on. we don't want Jewish only country but we must keep the Jewish majority in Israel BC otherwise that would be the distraction of Israel. the same way that a Muslim England would not be England any more

[ma11ohad]

this guy should understand the the Jews are a nation and Judaism is a religion these are two different things. americans are a nation too Christianity is a religion. also he completely ignore the history that in any country that the Jews where a minority they where discriminate against. this is why Israel must be Israel and home land for the Jewish nation. palestine can live next to Israel

Israel has a viable state, the streets of Tel Aviv are safer than any streets in America or Europe, Israel exports hi-tech products used by hundreds of millions all over the world (look, does your PC say Intel?), and most importantly, Israel has a strong army and nuclear weapons and is determined to remain a jewish state. We're not going anywhere, not without a massive nuclear war.
