Israel is located in the Middle East where these types of states have not been too successful

The reasons for this are many and varied but they have nothing to do with an innate deficiency of the peoples of those states, Muslim or otherwise. The principle factors which have driven the post colonial events are the Cold War, continued destructive foreign interference and the direct and indirect impact of Israel itself and its creation.
There is no reason to believe that Jewish Israelis can only secure their own future by perpetually dominating those around them, quite the reverse. The attempt to do so will continue to foster their alienation from the communities around them and from those in Europe and the US whose support for Israeli policy and practice of domination is withering and will inevitably at some point be exhausted. Israelis have yet to realize that the racism inherent in the existing arrangements is repellent to those of us on the outside and we will not support it in perpetuity.
What then?

Israelis have a right to live in peace and security, but it is the same as the right of others, it does not trump others’ rights.

The acceptance of ethnocentric gradations in citizenship is a denial of human equality. Israel’s declaration of itself, as Eurosabra holds, as a theocracy is a declaration that equal rights are not relevant in state affairs. The ramifications include a denial of the goals and intentions of the US civil rights movement. The noise my message represents to you arises from all the people who do support that movement; it is but a murmur now.

In American, we live in states. State’s rights often are debated. Most citizens of the US unconsciously relate to the rest of the world as if it is comprised of states. Doing so results from and reinforces insularity, but I would argue that the same experience is shared by everyone, with flavoring from their culture and political system.

So I wonder why it is controversial for there to be two states or one – either, whichever the people agree upon. Why is this controversial? It seems evident from history that if Israel continues to deny the equality of non-Jewish residents (the existence of) within Israel/Palestine, it will keep exploding. Although harm in the past has come primarily from one actor, the backlash to it is creating a diverse population of groups in opposition, and we who use the net can respond from among them to some purpose in speaking out.

Since the danger of Israel exploding outward, against others, and causing harm in the process isn’t potential -as so often the topic of Eurosabra’s discussion is- but has been a continuous fact for a while now, I feel compelled to agitate for someone to do something to stop the killing.

Umm… do you agree?

There is nothing inherent to either group of people that prevents greater social harmony. There is much inherent within the current State structure that buttresses and succors enmity among the peoples of the land. Protect Palestine from Israel and IMO the result for Israel will be severe internal disruption, for a multitude of reasons.
