Israel’s decision, announced this weekend, to expropriate 1000 acres of Palestinian land is the largest single land grab in the past three decades of the occupation, and further evidence, in case such were needed, that it has no intention of negotiating a two-state solution. I’ve linked below an excellent article published several months ago by the Israeli blogger Noam Shiezaf indicating what prominent figures close to the governing right-wing coalition have in mind for a single Jewish state encompassing the West Bank but excluding Gaza and the Palestinian refugees. Contrary to the fears expressed by their liberal counterparts, these right-wing Zionists do not believe they will have to choose between demography and democracy; they’re convinced they can both grant formal citizenship rights to the West Bank Palestinians while retaining a Jewish majority in their realized vision of a Greater Israel spanning both banks of the Jordan River. http://972mag.com/what-is-the-israeli-rights-one-state-vision/90755/ ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
