That racist mantra returns us to the old American TV show where young MK Olmert is pitched against Meir Kahane. Kahane poses a simple statement, that Arabs should not influence policies and law-making in a Jewish state. Olmert concurred, but claimed that Arabs don’t pose a threat to Jewish character of Israel because they are too few. Olmert expressed a typical hypocrisy of Jewish conformists: it’s okay to accord Arabs democratic rights as long as the Arabs are too few to exercise the rights. That’s no longer the case. Arab voters brought Rabin, Barak to power. Arab voters are 19%. Centrists have to either befriend the Left or see the Left embracing the Arabs and possibly forming a government. The Arabs are already too many in the Jewish state, 34% among the young. In terms of the world’ screaming, it doesn’t matter whether we evict them from Israel or from the West Bank, as well.
What is the ideological basis of demanding Jewish majority in Israel, but leaving Judea to Arabs?
