Yeah, I find it so often to be the case....geoffff,<br /><br />Yeah, I find it so often to be the case. I don't write about it in general here, only about the case of patronizing Arabs and Muslims, because I wish to stay within the bounds of the nonpartisan and Israel-specific, but I could fill pages with those examples. Just a recent one is the push to get the Redskins to change their name—a push initiated not by American Indian groups but by patronizing white-skinned Progressives. Who the heck gave them the right to speak for American Indians?!<br /><br />Another acute example is one I found in a Progressivist pamphlet titled "Unsettling America" (downloadable as a PDF file), where the writers say that the modern-day counterpart of American Indians fighting against the cowboys is American Indians stopping the construction of power plants. Now that's a patronizing and cultural-imperialist idea if there ever was one. No problem with American Indian individual or groups taking up that cause, just as any ethnicity can, but that blatant enlisting of American Indian history for the cause is imperialistic to the extreme.<br /><br />Looking forward to your post, geoffff. With your time and stamina permitting, of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-63160390584092450002013-06-01T20:15:42.854-07:002013-06-01T20:15:42.854-07:00"Progressives claim to stand for the rights o..."Progressives claim to stand for the rights of indigenous peoples; let them make good on their claim regarding the indigenous people of Palestine—the Jews."<br /><br />There is a long and warm relationship between Australian Jews and indigenous Australians. From their strongholds in inner city Sydney and Melbourne Greens and other "progressives" like to proselytise among Aboriginal communities in the far north and outback. They jump on every bandwagon usually pushing big dollops of welfare poison without strings or intervention. Their supercilious paternalism is undisguised and nauseating. As always, it's all about them.<br /><br />They have been surprised by some aboriginal leaders rejecting the victim/poverty/despair welfare poison traps of the progressives which after all is deeply racist in its assumptions about indigenous Australians. They have been more surprised when these leaders have expressed admiration for Israel and the Jewish people and identify far more closely with them as indigenous people who have won the struggle for basic rights in their own homeland than the Greens would like. <br /><br />This reminds me. I've been planing a post on the impossible contradiction of the Australian progressives almost religious obsession with Aboriginal land culture and their hostility to Zionism. There is a connection and it's not just antisemitism. It's that they regard both Aboriginal people and Arabs as inferior people. <br /><br />The post is on the list. geoffffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056725010151459750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-41580521739813756062013-05-30T21:43:38.672-07:002013-05-30T21:43:38.672-07:00Mike,

Without peaceful coexistence, just as you say. Notably, even then, despite the evidence of the bankruptcy of binationalism in plain sight, that didn't stop naive people like Martin Buber or malicious organizations like the Communist Party of Palestine (PKP, from its initials in Russian; active in the 1930s) calling for a binational shared Jewish–Arab state.<br /><br />I'd like to add on the two-state vs. binational solution, that the former has a <em>theoretical</em> chance of working while the latter can't work even in theory. In practice, the two-state solution is unworkable because the Arab/Islamic side adheres to an imperialism that cannot tolerate the existence of a state of <em>any</em> size for the Jews. Were it not for the reality of that imperialism, there could have been peace in our region as far back as 1947. Again theoretically, the two-state solution could be resurrected at any moment; in practice, the Arabs have done so much to lose the Israeli Jews' trust that it looks highly unlikely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-29623421535646093382013-05-30T08:43:27.040-07:002013-05-30T08:43:27.040-07:00We have ample history of this so called binational...We have ample history of this so called binational state and what it represents. From 1919 to 1948 the area was, in effect this binational state. It resulted in pogroms and massacres over and over and over nearly unbroken from 1929-1948. 2 decades of active, open, violent Jewish persecution.

Excellent and a topic that is almost always a front-burner topic here when giving the weekly tour. As Hevron is one of the ISM's strongholds you can probably fill-in the conversational blank.
