Which land are you proposing to give Hamas really? We already evacuated all of the strip, you want to give them Yad-Mordehay? Nahal Oz? Kerem Shalom?
Well you have 2 options actually:
1-allow anyone who claims to be Palestinian to enter Israel and then they are to be given them land they claim they are entitled to and any Israeli who now owns the land will be removed and just go poof and vanish;
or
2-create one state in Gaza, Israel, the West Bank, remove any reference to it being a Jewish state; then since it would now become a majority Muslim state, its democratic citizens could then vote in a Muslim political party that believes in sharia law and one party rule just like in Iran or what the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt wants, which then would impose dhimmitude on the Jews and tell them they can't own land (they will of course pay rent to Arab land owners), testify in court (and so will need a Muslim to be their witness and of course pay the Muslim witness a fee for that), do business with a Muslim unless they use a Muslim broker to speak on their behalf, and of course all those synagogues or churches higher then Mosques would have to be altered to lower their height and then of course we would need to have the women start wearing more modest clothing.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me what the choices are.
I don't see what your problem is.
I sat in graduate school (completed it years later part-time, finished in 2008) getting a Master's in Law in Canada and my law professor tell me there should just be one democratic non religious state and there should no reference to Jewish religion.
Oh said I, to this constitutional law professor and sudden expert on Israel. Pray tell what Muslim nation of the Middle East exemplified and would be the recent for this non religious democracy?
Would it be Morrocco, Libya, Tunisia, Sudan, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia,Yemen Gulf Arab states?
Would the majority population because it was a democratic now be able to repeal a multi-party state and have only one party and reinstitute sharia law across the board?
Well why would I think that asked the professor suggesting it was absurd to suggest such a thing would happen. Well said I, do you notice the states of Morrocco, Libya, Tunisia, Sudan, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraw, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the Gulf Arab states?
Care to explain where in the world of Muslim nations let alone Arab League nations there is democratic non religious rule where the constitution seperates sharia law from the state and does not practice dhimmitude?
Dhimmitude I was asked? Oh no it doesn't exist. Jews, Christians, Assyrians, Zoroastreans, Bahaiis, Kurds, Berbers, Sieks, Hindus, Druze, for that matter certain sects of Islam such as the Amidyah, atheists, communists, gays, trade unionists, feminists, I mean they all are treated with love and respect in sharia nations. Everyone is loved and accepted.
There I was in graduate school lectured to by alleged expert constitutional law professor and fellow students as to how wonderful the constitutions of the Arab League nations were and how sharia law preaches tolerance and equality. Of couse in between lectures from the professor other graduate students told me how unreasonable a notion it was Jews think they can have a state. When I asked why not Jews when Muslims have Muslim states I was told its not the same thing.
Of course not one student lecturing me has ever been to an Arab state or Israel and the law professor travelled to Israel once for a seminar on a one state solution, stayed just long enough to give his speech then left. No tour of a kibbutz for him.
When I reminded my fellow students of the Church of England and its constitutional tie to the nation and how the United Kingdom is defined as an Anglican nation or when I raised the point that the Vatican City was in fact an independent sovereign nation I was told oh no its not the same and Jews have this unrealistic belief they should have a nation when they should just realize they are a minority and stay that way.
So there you have it. I was told I did not know my place on this planet. I must remain a minority and not be a majority. Oh fine said I. Then where would you suggest the Jews go in Israel who were expelled from the Arab League nations and were forced to move to Israel? Where would they go since Palestinians would want to return and take back land they now live on?
Well I was told by my learned colleagues and professor, that is not our concern. Its not an issue we need worry about.
Why of course, those Jews can go poof.
Excuse me but I now must go poof. That is of course the conclusion one must make when we hear such suggestions-that jews simply go poof because after all, does anyone really want us in their neighbourhoods once they are replaced by Palestinians?
You ever met an Israeli? Very aggressive people. They drive cars like mad men. Worse then the Italians and French and almost as bad as Indians or Vietnamese. Ooops I shouldn't generalize.
