> Some people think that the present crisis was inevitable because of the flaws inherent in the Zionist program from the start. Those people are correct. Kahane was right: a democractic Jewish state on territory inhabited mostly by non-Jews is an impossibility. Pick at most 2, but you cannot have all 3. If you wish to keep the Jewishness of the state (i.e. Zionism), you must either abandon democracy, change the population of the territory (ethnic cleansing/genocide), or both. There are plenty of Israelis like the author—who are genuinely good people, who have no other land, and who love their country because any good person should strive to do so. Their attitude is understandable. They deserve a better country to love, one not built on Zionism.
