AJC Global event - Caroline Glick and Ari Shavit Debate on the Peace Process
Good cultured debate, great insight into the actual situation for anyone with the eyes to see.
Israeli right and Palestinians are actually coming more and more to an evident agreement regarding one single issue - the future is one state. The furthest ideologies on the street have more in agreement, than the best version of a sane leftist agenda ever was capable to suggest in real terms. Unfortunately they're stuck in arguments from the last decade or two not seeing that since 2008 the country has experienced a quick uplift in its' political and financial position in the world, and a long string of key strategic decisions that completely challenge the old vocabulary , all in spite all of media and changing attitudes in the WH.
But that's my opinion only, I'd really like to see Caroline Grlick debate Einat Wilf, with Wilf representing the sane left that is much with it's finger on the pulse of reality, that I think would be a deserving intellectual challenge.
This was spot on - C Glick: "I don't believe for a moment that the ways to win the hearts and minds of young American Jews, is to say that "We're sorry, we're pathetic, we're desperate and we need You, that is certainly not an inspiring message, and certainly not true. It is not true that Israel is pathetic, it's is not true that it's a weak poor democracy that is in absolute need of the American Jewish community in order to continue to exist, with all due respect to our partners in the American Jewish community. That is not a kind of message people need to hear anywhere, not only here in the US, not in Israel, not in France, not in Belgium, not in S America - nowhere!
We are not a pathetic basketcase of a nation. To the contrary we go from strength to strength thank G-d!
Because we are just, we are right, we are creative, we are exciting, we believe in who we are and what we do in this world."
This is not politics for us, we see Israel as a miracle that deserves recognition rather than apology.
Even the most extreme leftist in Israel will tell You it's one of the best countries with a uniquely vibrant society that is overall thankful for the opportunity they've been given - a true example of a safe haven we wish for the rest of humanity, in spite of all media shebang and critique we know the truth - we need to take care of it and it's a good country.
When the left stops pretending it hates anything Israel by default, it can bring back the power of conviction over the young Israeli generation which is growing more young, not until then.
My 2c. as a young Israeli, discussion as always welcome:
Q. Will the Israeli left keep mirroring the majority of western outdated talking points or eventually come with fresh vocabulary? Will the settlers and the Arab tribe sheikhs create an alternative to the left and Palestinian warring fractions in favor of this realization that they are the only sides capable of an effective debate based on already a closely shared reality and proven mutual benefit?
Hmmmm, maybe they need a not funny button.What's your problem, Tinmore?
Funnying my posts on Israel you can't deal with.
When it's not 'funny'.

Of course the Jewish and Palestinian refugees are separate and unrelated issues.
