Here's Peter Beinart's delusional and supremacist view in 30 seconds:
"To continue to pay people to move from democratic Israel across the
green line in to non-democratic Israel. That is a threat to Israel's
survival because it makes it so much easier for those people who don't
want Israel to exist to say that Zionism and democracy are incompatible,
to say that Israel is an apartheid state, to say that it is
fundamentally a racist enterprise. To defeat them we have to struggle
for Israeli democracy. That's why I write what I do."
But what if
the Zionism and democracy ARE INDEED incompatible? What if Israel IS an
apartheid state? What if the Zionist project in Palestine IS
fundamentally a racist enterprise?
The State of Israel is not
even remotely democratic - it is founded on the exact opposite of
democratic values. "The Jewish & Democratic State", even in its
smaller territory (aka Israel proper/Palestine48), couldn't be any less
democratic. It is no more democratic than, say, "The People's Democratic
Republic of North Korea" even though both have 'democratic' in their
name. Yet no one in their right mind would treat North Korea as a
democracy, right? The only reason that Israel is being treated
differently is because of the sheer propaganda which is being propagated
by the likes of Beinart.
