The Forward Gaslights Readers: We Know What ‚From the River to the Sea‘ Means | CAMERA
For decades, we’ve been hearing from anti-Israel media, activists, and NGOs, and even online lodging service Airbnb, that the settlements are the main obstacle to peace – a statement that contains within it an implicit assumption that Israeli Jews will not be able to live in a majority Arab future state of Palestine. For, if they could simply become citizens of the state, then some of the land on which the settlements sit could be transferred to Palestine, and there would be no obstacle. Now, an opinion piece in the Forward, defending comments by Marc Lamont Hill, asserts that the opposite is true, that is, that Israeli Jews will be welcome in a majority Arab future state (albeit a bigger one than that envisioned by proponents of a two-state solution). And not only that, but also, those who don’t think so are making “deeply racist and Islamophobic assumptions about who the Palestinians are and what they want.” (“From The River To The Sea’ Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means,” by Maha Nassar, December 3, 2018.)
