Isreal: False Assumptions and Damaging Choices

[raysr]

"Western governments have assumed that Israel is a democratic nation with no territorial ambitions and is fighting wars to secure itself against terrorism and non-compromising enemies. These assumptions have steered the Western nations into believing they must choose:

either an Israel that deserves support in fighting for a survival that will eventually pacify the entire Middle East, or
terrorist-led factions that want to exterminate Israel and destabilize the Middle East.

Both the assumptions and choices have proven incorrect.

The present choice is between re-directing to newly defined borders an Israel that has expanded at the expense of a possible destruction of the Palestinian people and uses security as an excuse for its expansion, and between
a perpetual conflict that will eventually destroy Israel and much of the Middle East.

Note: This article might appear to be a lengthy "overkill" and one-sided discourse on the Middle East crisis, but only a complete airing of the topic can combat the false assumptions and biased positions that have guided other discourses."

2. an apologist screed

for those calling for the destruction of Israel, listing all the reasons it shouldn't exist. And that helps the cause of peace, just how?

Filled with factual errors, and sins of omission. No, I'm not going to bother listing them all.

"Dubious jews", any article that tries to build part of its case on that, has no credibility.

3. Israel not a democracy?

If Israel isn't a democracy, why are there 3 major Arab parties taking up 10 seats in the present day Knesset? I don't get this article at all.
