The new Israeli demand is that the Palestinians must formally recognize Israel as a Jewish state, which is something that is simply impossible for any self-respecting Palestinian to do.
Does that invalidate the
Islamic Republics of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Mauritius? Or is it only a Jewish state that's impossible to recognize? By that measure, why would any "self-respecting" American recognize a Communist state like China? Or, during the Cold War, the USSR and all its Communist satellites?
Lilo was talking about Palestinians, not Americans. They would hardly have peace, till everyone there agrees to some compromise. And as theological governments go, if you want to put Israel alongside Islamic Republics of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Mauritius, it says a lot. Find me one theological government that doesn't stink when it comes to human rights.
A Jewish person here in Iran, wouldn't have the same rights as a Muslim, and the same goes for a Muslim in a Jewish state. Why not a secular state everywhere, where people are respected as human beings, with equal rights for all regardless of their religion?
