Beinart on Zionism

Peter Beinart wrote a scathing anti-Zionist opinion for today’s New York Times: “You Can’t Save Democracy in a Jewish State“. He said:

  • Democracy means government by the people. Jewish statehood means government by Jews. In a country where Jews comprise only half of the people between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, the second imperative devours the first.
  • Ultimately, a movement premised on ethnocracy cannot successfully defend the rule of law. Only a movement for equality can.
