How do you separate religion and state when the definition of the said state is that it is for a religious group? Thorny issue, and making suggestions of conversion do not serve it.WendyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07530289146120495375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675600882597316438.post-79498565473423226752010-03-05T22:49:35.203-08:002010-03-05T22:49:35.203-08:00Not me.

My position on Zionism has taken a huge turn recently, which began with getting to know the foreign workers and refugees when I was working in a second hand store on Derech Salameh in south Tel Aviv.

Support for human rights is incompatible with support for an ethnic supremacist state's "right to exist" the way it does exist, and the way it defines the foundations of the state.<br />The right's outrageously overblown rhetoric against critics is doing the latter a favour - if Goldstone is called a traitor by Dershowitz, then being a traitor can't be such a bad thing after all. For a growing left to be cast out of the "Zionist consensus" by the self-appointed gatekeepers of the right will in time alter the consensus itself, and the right, instead of having the left locked out will see themselves locked into their ghetto, which is, I believe, why there's such a sense of panic among them right now.fiddlernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675600882597316438.post-7423956974738996242010-02-11T13:53:39.975-08:002010-02-11T13:53:39.975-08:00Aren't there signs that the divisions between ...Aren't there signs that the divisions between the youngish human rights camp and the oldish peace camp are breaking down, at least a bit? Yossi Sarid and Danny Grossman showed up at Sheikh Jarrah demos, no? Is that meaningless? Were those isolated incidents, or is the urgency of the human right situation prodding the slumbering peace camp to wake up a bit?Dan Fleshlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794850254330810880noreply@blogger.com
