The
author employs the principles of classical or normative
democracy to negate the claim that the Palestinian Arabs are entitled to
independent statehood. That claim is based, without logical consistency,
on the principles of contemporary or normless democracy, now
steeped in moral and cultural relativism. Because the author can also
employ the principles of contemporary democracy to negate Palestinian
statehood, he will be all the more vehemently accused of “racism” by
contemporary democrats, to say nothing of Arabs who are anything but
democrats. Undeterred by this canard, the author, consistent with his
rejection of Palestinian statehood, rejects the related notion of
“separation” as a solution to the Palestinian problem – the notion of
those who lack the courage and wisdom to deal effectively with the cruel
hatred of Arabs toward Jews and their implacable commitment to Israel’s
destruction. The author concludes with the only realistic solution to the
problem, one that conforms to both democratic and Jewish principles.
