This from Yossi Klein Halevi is so depressing. Ezra Klein picked him to represent the reasonable Israeli, and he considers the possibility of a minority Jewish state, even if peacefully attained, equivalent to the mass murder of Jews. I don't doubt most Israelis agree, but it means no peace ever.

@philipncohen His objection is not that it's a minority Jewish state, it's that it would be a majority Muslim Arab state.

Jews do fine today as minorities in western countries. But try to find an example of Jews living in an Arab state as a safe minority in the past 50 years, and you'll fail.

@davidmanheim He could have said that, but he didn't. But I understand that's your opinion.
