That is the case, now. Palestinians in Israel can/do vote. Israel is turning away from bringing all of the Palestinians (right to return) into the tent because they would be out-voted. That may happen anyhow, as the Palestinians population is growing relative to the Jewish population. |

similar to the decline of the wasp voice in the us and the likelihood we will Hispanics will become the majority?
As afar as Palestine goes, It is my understanding the Gaza Strip doesn't have a vote while Palestinians in Jerusalem do.

Apparently, J & J might be going to Gaza in March!
Part of some academic delegation or something. All a bit exciting. It'll be interesting to hear their experiences of the area and the people.

This diplomatic move shows there is a change in world-view developing towards Israel.

J just confirmed. They'll be going in March. They'll both be lecturing during their stay. Exciting but I am a touch nervous for them :p

Israeli government tactics are looking more and more like a hand-me-downs from WWII

I am definitely not an anti-Semite. But all the children of Abraham have questions to answer if their God is truly righteous, and created women as well as men. Animals need to be killed in a special way, you need to eat certain things on certain days, but it's okay to belittle and control and damage the mother of your sons? If they come from such a dirty place, how can they be holy too? Rant over. A bit sick of hypocrisy today. Thanks Cardinal O'Brien.

Anti-Israel terrorists may be numerous, but pro-Israel terrorists are imaginative.
