POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
But who is going to evict Israelis from the rest of their
stolen property in the West Bank and Jerusalem?
Those much greater thefts aren't by right-wing fanatics but
by the government of Israel itself.
The Hebron business is pure symbolism and public relations.

The words would be hilarious were they not so tragic and
darkly ignorant.
Two states, one of which weekly steals homes and farms from
the other?
The two states are defined by the Green Line, else the
phrase "two states" is absurd.

It would seem that the entire Middle East is important to
Israelis, so much so they are ready to start wars regularly to secure their
delusional claims.
No modern state can be based on religious texts of 2500
years ago.
Otherwise Turkey belongs to Greece owing to the Trojan War.
And indeed, Israel belongs either to the Phoenicians or the
Egyptians, both of which ruled that land before the Hebrews.
One could argue that Italy, too, has a claim.
These arguments over texts of 2500 years ago are irrational
and dangerous.
Were it anywhere but Israel, everyone would immediately
recognize the fact.
