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

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.
