Default The sad state of Israel

http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...n-daniel-pipes

This author talks as if his opinions are reasonable, and even obvious.

He closes by saying:

Quote:
The Supreme Court’s decision has momentous long-term implications. As Eli Hazan writes in Israel Hayom, “The court ruled de jure but also de facto that the state of Israel is a Jewish state, and thus settled a years-long debate.” The closing of the back-door “right of return” secures Israel’s Zionist identity and future.
Only a fool would think this future is secure. They think they can cap off the pressure cooker that is the West Bank and Gaza, and they will keep the Arabs away, and that they will give them no rights.

If they continue this way, this cannot end well. To me, that's the obvious thing. The current situation cannot last forever. It will end a lot sooner than forever. I hope some far-sighted wise people take over, but the more you read about Israel the more loco it sounds. Just look at their women's rights issues. It's so out there, it would make Rick Santorum blush.
