Why should English, a language which has no real history in Israel, be an official language in Israel? Is it because you speak English and you wish Israel bent to your will? |

It is certainly a more logical choice than English (or any other language for that matter) if there is going to be a second official language. |

He is saying that if there are two official languages Arabic makes more sense than English. There is nothing contained in what Oren posted indicating that he was taking a position on whether there should be more than one official language |

And yet I'm apparently the one who wants Israel destroyed because I think they shouldn't suspend basic human rights in order to prevent natural demographic shifts over time. |

If there has to be 2 official languages, the other should be English, certainly not Arabic.That would be like Canada's two official languages being English and Spanish. |

What does annexation of new territory have to do with anything? WMATA has claimed that if Jews become a minority in Israel for any reason, they'll be obliged to commit ethnic cleansing to preserve Israel's "Jewish character." |

Specifically: If a majority of the population is not Jewish, then non-democratic means would need to be used to maintain its Jewish character. You want Israel to annex the West Bank and Gaza. No, I said I would be OK with them doing that. Not that they must or that I actively want them to. Do try to follow along. |

Yes, and in speaking hypothetically about a scenario in which Israel's population was no longer majority-Jewish, he declared that Israel's "Jewish character" must take precedence over the wishes of a potentially non-Jewish population. |

So you believe that statement implies that he believes that is something that should be done?Unless you've decided to develop a Terrapin-level failure to understand nuance and context, you'll notice that WMATA was making the following points: (1) Israel was created to be democratic and Jewish. (2) If those two goals conflict, Judaism takes priority. (3) Because being Jewish is Israel's "primary purpose for existing" while democracy is just a nice thing to have. Therefore, if Israel's "Jewish character" is threatened by natural demographic shifts, democracy must be suspended to maintain it. |

It could just mean dictatorship or apartheid. Not that I'd consider those much of an improvement. I don't wish to see such a situation come to pass, however, there are lots of ways to maintain Israel's Jewish character without killing its minority population or expelling it. "Minority" population? You said Jews must always be Israel's majority population. OK no more dodging. I'm just gonna ask you— if Israel's population ceased to be majority-Jewish due to natural demographic shifts over time, what should be done about it? Here is yet another explanation of how and why Israel should be a Jewish, democratic state and what that means. That is the most absurd pile of bullshit I've read so far today on a site other than OTChat. From the article: There need be no contradiction between the state’s Jewish character (which first of all means the recognition that Israel is the state in which the Jewish people exercises its right to self-determination) and its commitment to afford equal rights to all its citizens. Of course, there's absolutely no contradiction between the idea that we're both equal in this country and the fact that this is my country where I have a right to self-determination and you don't really belong but we'll let you in anyway. I've asked you this before— what part of "separate is inherently unequal" do you not understand? Or rather, do you not understand the sentiment behind that phrase? |
