Danny Lam attacks Antony Loewenstein and Peter Slezak for claiming that Israel is "not the state of its citizens but only of the Jewish people", but then seems to assert just that, saying that “Hamas and Hezbollah …maintain a fanatical commitment to destroy the state of Israel. This would deny the Jewish people's right to self-determination.” This means, if it means anything, that the Jewish people, whether or not they actually live in Israel, have some rights to be taken into account in Israeli politics that aren’t held by Arabs, whether or not they actually live in Israel; or, to put it another way, that Israel is not the state of its citizens but only of the Jewish people.
There, when you come to examine it closely all sides agree. Peace is at hand.
