That Israel is sitting on a time-bomb is now almost beyond question. Amongst the many issues confronting the State is that the Arab-Palestinian population will in the next 5-10 years exceed that of the Israeli Jews. Then what? A minority ruling a majority?
Israeli Foreign Minister Lieberman seems to think he has the answer, whether it be democratic, legal or let alone humane. Just ship out the Arab-Palestinians one way or the other - as Jonathan Cook reports in "Blueprint for a Purely Jewish State" on CounterPunch:
"Avigdor Lieberman, Israel’s far-right foreign minister, set out last week what he called a “blueprint for a resolution to the conflict” with the Palestinians that demands most of the country’s large Palestinian minority be stripped of citizenship and relocated outside Israel’s future borders.
Warning Israel faced growing diplomatic pressure for a full withdrawal to the Green Line, the pre-1967 border, Mr Lieberman said that, if such a partition were implemented, “the conflict will inevitably pass beyond those borders and into Israel”.
He accused many of Israel’s 1.3 million Palestinian citizens of acting against Israel while their leaders “actively assist those who want to destroy the Jewish state”.
