In his article titled The Israel rules, Gary Kamiya not only distorts history, he completely misstates basic facts about the creation of the State of Israel, her statehood, previous wars fought to ensure her existence, and the fate of the Palestinians (including the reason they were “refugees” to begin with). Under the guise of attempting to sound pragmatic, democratic, and egalitarian, Kamiya is frighteningly condescending of the Jewish people and of Israel’s right to exist. His rhetoric barely conceals his anti-Semitism. If his advice were heeded in its entirety, Israel would basically fend for itself in the Middle East and a democratic country smaller than NJ, surrounded virtually on all sides by militant, well fortified terrorists and sympathizing Arab nations, would cease to exist in a matter of hours.
