That it appears that democracy and Arab sovereignty do not seem to be compatible. They can produce all kind of fantasies and reasons but the facts are clear: there is no Arab sovereign state that is democratic on this planet. When it comes to Palestinian Arabs there is a record. You can scream "occupation" to the Moon but once again the facts are clear. As soon as you abdicate control of any piece of real estate the Palestinian Arabs create a violent, corrupt, Nazi-like entity like Hamastan in Gaza. It is obvious that transferring any land to Palestinian Arabs carries existential threat to Israeli sovereignty and Israeli democracy. You give up the land and get the underground tunnels and terror in return. If the Arabs of Israel are genuinely interested in peace then they need to demonstrate it via their representatives in the Israeli parliament and the international world bodies. Talk is cheap! Show your actions! So, far you have produced leaders like Zoabi who use the Israeli democracy to destroy Israel. That is not very reassuring.

but not enough. Your representatives challenge the very foundation of Israel despite protection and benefits they get. Israel is unique. How many countries would supply the people who want to kill them with electricity, water, food, etc...etc..and even the pre-natal care products? There is no country in the world that would do it to the enemies. None and there is no similar precedent in the history of this planet.

But a huge groundswell of Palestinian opinion that is struggling to find its voice That THE way THE THIRD WAY to Peace and Palestinian Statehood is the so called Palestinian 1999 Plan ONE Palestine created from an expanded Gaza via Land Exchanges of West Bank for parts of Negev and possible land purchases from Egypt of Sinai Yet the PA and Hamas are DESPERATE to cling to the status quo NOT because it is BAD for Palestinians but because its BAD for their pockets But something in the Palestinian mood is stirring Its called the THIRD WAY

how many were actually mayors 2 4 6 ? out of hundreds of Arab Municipalities half the tiny audience seems to be made up of Jews Good for those Mayors 1 or 2 not many more were named ?! but this is a very poor showing and reveals sadly the state of hate of the "Israeli" Arab for the country they live in, best to separate from them and their Palestinian brothers lets live not far from each other but separately and not in each others politics or affairs Time to say goodbye , the world in general and here in particular is and always will be tribal only naïve wishful thinkers don't get this , lets respect each other but fro a distance.

This piece is nothing but a weakly veiled promotion of giving away Israeli land.
