Israel's critics should hold Hamas accountable, too
There are two options for Gaza, repatriation and annexation. Both are better than the status quo, but worse for Hamas. That part of Palestine is composed of ethnic Egyptians. Hamas would be put down by the Egyptian regime in the same way the Islamic Brotherhood was. Annexation by the current regime would lead to Apartheid. In this way, the Palestinians are like the Indigenous nations. In many parts of the West, there is plenty of Anglo colonialism still, so yes, Israel is much like America and South Africa as well.
I believe in a Pan-Arab kingdom under the Hashemites and including what is now Northern Israel. If Israel does not want to give back land, then it should be a secular state. The reality is that the Ashkenazi (of which I am one) were not diaspora Jews, we were Khazars who converted. Of those who actually are descendants of the southern Kingdom, many were Canaanites or non-Monotheistic until after the return from the Exile. Most became Christians and then Muslims. If they really wanted to upset the apple cart, they would convert to Judaism. I wonder what the reaction would be. I somehow doubt that the Zionists and Neo-Cons who support them would rejoice.
