On moral grounds, the case for a sovereign state based on ethnic purity and an institutional religious creed is a form of national socialism, which works pretty well for Israel’s Jewish majority Jews but not so well for the nation’s Arabs, Christians, and Muslims.

The Jews do have a very special history, however.

Without a nation of their own, history has shown that they are targets for any regime, any mob, looking for a scapegoat, and the consequences of that paradigm over the past couple of millennia have periodically been nothing less than horrific.

So, yes, its seems that the Jews must maintain they state they have fought so hard to establish.

The Palestinians?

They need a state, too, and not someone else’s.

The Palestinians are ethnically an urbanized and semi-urbanized mix of many peoples besides Arabs, including Greeks and Syrians; most are Muslim, but many are Christians, and the majority have an ancestral claim to Palestinian lands.

Palestine, as a nation, must function as a sovereign state, like Israel and its neighbors.
