York Times: Israel's 'American Problem', by Jeffrey
Goldberg (18 May 2008).
This fascinating op-ed by Jeffrey Goldberg theorizes that
the settlement movement is right now the greatest danger
to the future of Israel because it is not allowing a viable
Palestinian State to be established in the West Bank, and
as a result the Palestinians will increasingly focus on
creating true equality for themselves in Israel itself as
Israel increasingly takes over the West Bank, and because
there will soon be more Palestinians in the region than
Israeli Jews, then this will mean that in the true democracy
and equality they are working toward they will be able to
exercise their voting rights and vote for the end of the
Jewish State and the Jewish-dominated government.
