On Mya Guarnieri's blog post, which I wrote about earlier today, I called her out on her support of the one state solution. Noted Israel hater "Nwo2012" responded with this post, which I'd like to discuss in some depth.
Nwo here describes the establishment of a one state solution as "democracy". There are two possible responses to this post, and I will write them out in list order for readability.
1. This is not a question of "democracy". Democracy is a method of governing an existing state, not a way to create peace between two warring nations. Nwo claims Israel is not a democracy because it doesn't allow Palestinians to vote in Israeli elections. This makes as much sense as claiming the US isn't a democracy because it doesn't allow Mexicans to vote in US elections.
2. This post is hypocritical in two ways. First is the criticism of "ethnocracies" even while the Palestinians make it completely clear that their state will be a Muslim Arab state. Second is the holding up of democracy as some great thing, while ignoring that Palestinian society lives under two dictators, Abbas and Hamas.
I just wanted to highlight this post as the kind of arguments you might face when you criticize the one state solution. Double standards, hypocrisy, and nonsensical definitions of democracy.

Ethocracies are kosher if they are Arab, verboten if they are Jewish.
ReplyDeleteNot ONE Arab regime is a democracy. You don't ever hear the anti-Zios bring them up.
But the only country rated as "Free" in the Middle East by Freedom House falls short for them.
All the anti-Zios care about is trashing Israel, not in illuminating the debate about why peace won't arrive in the Middle East in our lifetime.
