Anonymous: I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say. I was countering a rhetorical question that claimed Zionism and democracy are incompatible. How is saying that the foundation of Israel is incompatible with democracy NOT criticizing Israel? And why does challenging that make me a moron? Please explain. I understand my tone was sharp, but if you are at all familiar with these Israeli-Arab dialogues, you'd know that this often happens. Arabs claim they want to hear our point of view, yet they actually seek to deligitimize it. That is not a true dialogue of mutual understanding. It's still a dialogue based on demonizing Zionism. A constructive dialogue must start with the realization and acceptance that the majority of Israeli (or Diaspora) Jews do not want to live in a state with an Arab majority, or in a state run by an Arab prime-minister, who, most likely, would not support the notion of a Jewish state - anymore than Germans in Germany want to live amongst a French majority, and have a French prime minister, or Chinese want to live amongst a Japanese majority and have a Japanese prime minister. Unless, of course, you want to pontificate on the nature of what a true democracy is. And that opens another can of worms, because, there really aren't any. My question to Arabs outside of Israel who would like to see Israel have an Arab or Lebanese prime minister is, "Why?" There are over twenty Arab countries with Arab heads of state. Why does the Jewish state need to be ruled by an Arab as well? And why are inarticulate people like you, Anonymous, always attacking those of us who make these points? I suspect it’s because you're not capable of making an intelligent argument.
