[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waaaay too liberal.  I won't allow my child to even consider it.[/quote]

"Allow." [/quote]

Yes, you read that correctly.  I will be paying the bill.  No child of mine is going to an anti-Israel institution.[/quote]

Oh. Dear. God.  Its Jews like you who are so fanatical that you will ruin Israel by suppressing dissent.  If Israel doesn't make peace with a Palistinian state, it will soon no longer have a Jewish majority and will therefore have to choose between being a Jewish state or a democratic state.  I love Israel, and it makes me sick that fanatics like you who suppress dissent are destroying it.

Makes me want to send my DC to Swarthmore.

By the way, do you know what happens when you shove your politics down your DC's throat?  Well, you'll find out.[/quote]

You have it backwards.  The Palestinians need to make the peace.  All they have to do is say that Israel has the right to exist.  That does not make me a fanatic, however, your knee jerk response makes me think that you are a fanatic.  [/quote]

Well Israel won't exist anymore if it insists on putting magic words above peace.  When the arab population is the majority all they have to do is vote and Israel is no longer Jewish.  Or . . . Israel could prevent their right to vote, in which case it ceases to be a democracy.  This is fact, this is the future unless we have a two state solution.  You can put your fingers in your ears and say lalalalalala but that won't save Israel.  A Palistinian state in the occupied territories (with a land swap for Jerusalem) is an existential necessity for Israel.   This is a perfectly mainstream view in israel, its only here that these voices are accused of being self-hating or whatever.

And byt the way, israel's founders -- ben-Gurion, Dayan, Meir -- did not have territorial ambitions (beyond unifying Jerusalem).  They never envisioned an israel that was an occupier.[/quote]
