Actually its a Tribal and Religious War and it was Niave to give Arabs and Jews easy identity cards . The Vast Majority of Arabs are Tribally linked to AntiJudaism at this time now . For them Judaism is Zionism the invasion of Palestine in numbers too massive and with Armed Capacity far too great. The Shoah conjures very low sympathy and only in a few and the vast majority admire the Nazi Genocide . The Jews want the Arabs out and the Arabs want the Jews out . Few are Internationalist Humanist .There are some a very few . So the conflict is intractable and only temporary times of calm is possible . The Jews being the minority in the area and with the many Shoahs have to control security and immigration. There can be long truces based on Comprimises and gestures .

Muslim occupiers are not Israeli citizens. They're foreign murderers that belong to their Allah death cult.

benefits. banish for ever to gaza. demolish and confiscate house. extend to whole family. it must be proportionate. murdered israeli has family. so murderous barbarians family must receive proportionate consequence. also bury in pig skin in never to be revealed location.

There are nation states and civic states. The US is the latter, as you identify. Our own unity here in the US is fraying due to the neo-liberal good intentions of upending the melting pot in favor of the mosaic. There is no future in that but our time for division is not yet come. What Israel is experiencing, manifest in your opinion piece, is the head-on collision of delusion with reality. The entire Middle East construct of Sykes-Picot is unraveling due to the fact that Western concepts of nationhood have little to do with Eastern concepts of the tribe. The Arab nations are disintegrating in the face of tribal loyalty. The Israeli "nation state" is doing much the same. Allow the Arabs to live as they choose and among each other. Allow the Jews to do the same. Do you not understand this, sir? I watch, bemused and saddened from afar, as countless thousands or more of liberal, Western-oriented Israeli Jews, attempt to grapple with this simple reality. Meir Kahane said it decades ago and he was right. And I'm sure you and people like you castigated him, marginalized him and screamed bloody murder, which the Arabs are now giving you, as Kahane said they would. Biology decrees it, religions demand it, people prefer it... for each to be with their own. And yet you fight this, on and on and on. When will you get it? When will you wake up? It is an arrogance, an elitism, and a removal from reality to understand Israel as anything but a homeland, a refuge for Jews. It is not for Arabs. It is not for the Chinese. God bless all of them and peace upon them but they have their home. I wish it could be different, I wish we could all get along and stop the nonsense of this sectarian fighting and bloodshed but it is in our DNA. I don't fear Arab terrorists killing us to get what they think is theirs. I fear those like you, on our own side, who don't have a clue and then attempt to impose that cluelessness on the rest of us. Wake up!

individual could engage in this type of textbook sophism! Melting pot?- not really, but melting of Author's brain: indeed.

first, israeli identity cards do no confer israeli citizenship. second, civil war has specific criteria: the opposing factions must live in the same country; the opposing factions must each control territory; they each must have a functioning government; each faction must have identifiable armed forces; the factions must engage in substantial military operations.

There is one loud, clear resounding message that is screamed out by every terrorist act by "Palestinians" and Israeli Arabs. RABBI KAHANE WAS RIGHT!

suicide in the name of "progressiveness" and humanitarian superiority. So are the dumb Euro-schmucks. Go figure. But hey: History will go on. She doesn't care if it's Judaeo-Christians or ISIS that are calling the shots. And the faithful will continue to look up to the sky, convinced The Imaginary Friend listens.....

#8. The situation is not as hopeless as you describe. Israel is waking up to the obvious truth of Kahane's words from decades ago. Labor is still led by cretins, but the vast majority of Israelis won't let it impose its sick suicidal will on Israel. Moreover, "Palestinians" ARE leaving Israel. Though not in the numbers we would like to see. With the right carrot and stick incentives, we will see massive "Palestinian" departure from our land. We are on the path to redemption, though it is slower than we would like.

It remains to be seen whether we'll "make it" in time. At the moment Netanyahu is our best card. He should watch his back (literally!) He's beginning to act like there's a plan behind his words/deeds. Witness Left's hysterical reactions :-)) Still, the leftist fallacy is well entrenched in the psyche of average Israelis. Not many were aware of Hajj Amin el Husseini & his role in the Shoah. Most still believe in "moderate Arab majority", that are our "peace partners"....if only we'd all lie down & die.
