[Israpundit] Israpundit » Blog Archive » Unilateralism is Israel's only option: Each country determines its own citizenship rules and there are many models ranging from extremes like Switzerland where citizenship is often not granted for several generations, and the extremely restrictive standards set by Islamic States to the more liberal standards applied by other countries. Since the process will be phased in over time, the possibility to adjust the procedures appropriately will be available as circumstances require.

[Workers' Liberty - For international working class solidarity and socialism] Avigdor Lieberman and the Israeli Arabs | Workers' Liberty: The Israeli Declaration of Independence states, “The State of Israel shall uphold absolute social and political equality of rights for all citizens, without distinction of religion, race or sex; it shall guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language education and culture.” Later the proclamation reads, “We call, even in the midst of this bloody onslaught”¦ to the sons of Arab people who are residents of the State of Israel to maintain peace and to take part in the building of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship and on the basis of appropriate representation in all its institutions.”

[Syria Comment] Syria Comment » Archives » Netanyahu Talks Peace for the Press ...: I have a Swedish friend who was in Lebanon in 2006 when the Israelis start bombing Beirut airport, she didn’t know what to do, so her embassy asked her to go to Syria, she was planning to spend 2 weeks in Lebanon, but instead she spend a whole month in Syria, she was very thankful for the way the Syrians treated her, she told me that she never thought that Syrians have such humanitarian attitude in the crises with the fact that Syrians themselves are not financially as rich as other country, yet they helped everybody who came to their border regardless of their nationality or religions.

[TPMCafe] Israel Expanding Settlements: Will Obama Finally Apply The ...: and that's because I suspect one reason Obama is so reticent about putting the screws to Israel is that, for all their claims of support for "getting tough" and constant bitching and symbolic vanity protests about Israel's government, MJ and his allies are completely unwilling to put their political asses on the line and defend any actual coercive measures. Obama knows that he has few solid and committed allies in the American Jewish community for a real "get tough with Israel" policy, and that if he ever really tried anything like that, J Street would probably transform itself into Son of Aipac in a few weeks time.

[Mondoweiss] Abunimah: All the king's horses can't restore legitimacy to partition: When the question of transfer was posed in a more roundabout way, 60 percent of respondents said that they were in favor of encouraging Israeli Arabs to leave the country.

[Dissident Voice] Dissident Voice : Deconstructing the Israeli Narrative: Somehow, and in some way, someone took advantage of the Allies victory in World War I to promote the Balfour Declaration, which approved “a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.” The League of Nations’ certification of the British mandate in Palestine prevented the formation of a national Palestinian governing body and many English speaking European Jews came to work in the British administration Fly below the cloud of propaganda and rhetoric and the principal result of the original Zionist agenda is easily observed: People of uncertain circumstance (not dedicated Zionists) and favored by the Zionists have been transferred from their countries to a new land, while people of more certain circumstances and not favored by the Zionists have been displaced from their lands.

[INTIFADA] Israeli Jews and the One-State Solution « INTIFADA: By permitting Secretary of State Clinton to praise Netanyahu effusively at their joint press conference in Jerusalem, her bewildering description of Netanyahu’s willingness to slow down, but not freeze, the settlement activities in the West Bank as “unprecedented”, President Obama has derailed the peace process in the glare of worldwide coverage.

[Change.org's War and Peace Blog] Can the Zionist Left and Palestinian-Israeli Parties Unite? | War ...: Offering them an "equal partnership?" Since zionist ideology doesn't accord equal citizenship or rights to Palestinians, this is good, a step up. However well-meaning this Daniel Gavoron is (and I don't mean to disparage his proposal), zionists have too long a record of lies, whitewashes and coverups of mass murder and fake peace offers (with respect to Palestinians) for any believable offer of genuine partnership from them.

[Matthew Yglesias] Matthew Yglesias » IDF Troops Threaten Mutiny: Since God is a tragic-ironist with a sadistic sense of humor, it will be the instrangience and agression of the right-wing Israelis and their neo-con cheerleaders like Krauthammer who are going to end up destroying the Israeli state as this is going to end up as a “one-state” solution since the two groups will be so intermixed as it will be impossible to separate.
