Clear-Eyed Thinking on Mideast Peace | National Catholic Reporter
Clear-Eyed Thinking on Mideast Peace | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Peter Berkowitz is only clear eyed if you are a Zionist, which MSW is. While there is a danger that the uncertainty unleashed by the Arab Spring (which was a secular movement but which was hijacked by the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Queda) - the rebels have their hands full at the moment in local affairs and no one with the power to attack Israel in any meaningful way is stupid enough to do so. Even Iran. Any genocidal attack will kill as many Arab Israeli's and Palestinians as it would Jews. Not recognizing this is only chest thumping, which does no good because there will be more Muslims in Israel and the territories than Jews, which will compel a moral reckoning on whether Israel is a western democracy (with a wrong answer making American aid problematic).
