Subject: RE: BS: Who Are the Terrorists? Part II
Well, what then? So what if Israel ends up with an Arab majority? If it is still a democratic Jewish state constitutionally (like the Republic of Ireland is a Catholic state constitutionally), it shouldn't be a problem.

Unless you are suggesting that the Jewish Israelis are so bigoted they won't allow any more Arabs to become Israelis?

That certainly has never been my perception of the democratic ideals of the Israeli people, who seem much more broadminded than that, despite the current anti-Arab hysteria fomented by Sharon and the Likud party since the Zionists took control of the government again.

Let us not forget, the IDF is also firing tear gas at the Israeli peace activists right now, and jailing the refuseniks. There is a wholescale effort in Israel right now to demonize any Israeli citizens who stand with the Palestinians (as the peace activists are doing) or against the Israeli government (as the refuseniks are doing).
