Helen Thomas’ Exquisite ‘Weimar Moment’ Reflects Progressive America
I find it interesting that people tend to forget folks like Mencham Begin and his idea of Eratz (sp?) Israel including a ton of territory that one would have to go back deep into history to try and define “Jewish Ownership” thereof. I am of the belief that only a two state solution with Jerusalem as either a divided Capital of both states or preferably as a “Universal City” owned by none. When you have the three major religions in the world sharing holy spaces within rock throwing distance of each other, it is hard for me to sign on to any group primarily comprised of one religious sect having a distinct claim on ownership. All that being said, until Hamas, Hezbollah and the rest get their collective heads out of their tails, I cannot fault Israel for having to do those things that provide it and it’s people security. At the same time, I find no shared beliefs with those who believe the solution to the problem is to dump the Palestinians on Jordan or any other existing State.
