Hi-
I have huge problems with Israeli policy. Can I still be pro-Israel, though?
I think the major problem with the politcally-correct left is that unfortunatly, it has a tendency to deny the right of existence of Israel as a fundamentally Jewish state.
I don't care how utopian you are in your view of the world, but every other race of people in the world have a place they can call home. A place where theirs is the dominant language, the dominant culture, the dominant context.
Living as a minority in a "melting pot" city or something is only possible when you know that somewhere out there exists a place where you are not a minority.
And the Jews deserve that as much as any other people.
And to claim that Israel was founded entirely on land theft is, I'm sorry, just incorrect. Much land was legimately purchased, some land was abandoned in '48, some land was, admittedly, stolen through violence. But Jewish land was also stolen by Arabs in exactly the same way.
Ultimately, ask any Palestinian what they really want, and I fear that they will tell you what they want is the end of a jewish state in Israel-- because eventually, things like the right of return imply a Palestinian, Arab majority. |
