According to the Levy commission, which is composed of right-wingers appointed by Netanyahu.

Nope, the Israeli government isn't horrible at all.  Roll Eyes

This isn't surprising at all given the right-wing government in Israel. And with the Arab Revolutions happening in neighboring countries I suspect Benny to become hardline on the Palestinian issue then he already is.

     The right-wing's just about everyone over in Israel, then. Among Israelis, only Hadash & Meretz are on the correct side of the issue. Neither of them are that big or powerful.

There are few things that repulse me more than white people who decide to play "white knight" for the Palestinians while being venomously opposed to Israel and casting Jewish Israelis as "White Europeans" in order to make their point.

     Which is a red herring, since one does not have to be a "white knight" for the Palestinians to see an issue here. Philosophically, I think that people should be able to choose the government they live under. The Palestinians do not want to be a part of the Israeli nation-state and that people are so cavalier about forcing them to be a part of it disturbs me.

     Considering the deep-seeded mutual antipathy that exists between the Israelis and the Palestinians, I don't see anything other than a two-state solution succeeding (not to say that that is a surefire winner either). Israel should exist as a sovereign nation, and so should Palestine.
