Comments on: Why the US will not cut aid to Israel http://warincontext.org/2009/11/11/why-the-us-will-not-cut-aid-to-israel/ ... with attention to the unseen Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:49:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Christopher Hoare http://warincontext.org/2009/11/11/why-the-us-will-not-cut-aid-to-israel/comment-page-1/#comment-6504 Christopher Hoare Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:04:08 +0000 http://warincontext.org/?p=2392#comment-6504 What Stephen Walt says at the end of the article is more pertinent than any sham debate in the US about ceasing to subsidize Israel. The Palestinians need to establish themselves as full and equal citizens in the current, single, apartheid state ruled by Israel. Then they will be able to democratically dismantle the apartheid laws that oppress them. I refer you to Philip Weiss’ article in Mondoweiss about Shlomo Sand’s lecture at NYU October 16th where he pointed out that the Romans oppressed the Jews, they didn’t exile them. While many left in the so-called diaspora just as many remained behind. The descendants of these people became Moslems and later, Palestinians, with as much an ancestral right to the ‘promised land’ as the Zionists who seek to deprive them. The state of Israel never has been legitimate and the only way it can become so is by admitting all the residents of of the lands between the Jordan and the sea as full citizens.
