[Marxism] Transforming Israel

[Paddy Apling]

I thoroughly agree.  This has really been clear for yonks - that Israel has 
never had any intention of reverting to the partition of Palestine decided 
by the UN in 1947 - which was the first, crucial mistake of UN - which 
should have learned from the results of the partition of Ireland!!

Israel really needs to be treated as a parish state, akin to Apartheid South 
Africa,

The only possible solution, though seemingly as, or even more remote, than 
the ending of Apartheid SA in the 1950s, is for Palestine to be re-united as 
a secular state in which Arabs and Jews (Jews who have for a considerable 
period have domicile there - not for all the Jews of the world as the 
Zionists have always  intended) can live together - in what would then 
really be a secular semitic state.
