    Ultimately, this is our role as Americans. It is to begin campaigns in our churches, synagogues, mosques, universities, cities, unions, etc. It is not to broker false negotiations between occupier and occupied, and it is not to muse over solutions the way I have above. But one can dream. And as a Jewish-American, I know that while it might be scary to some, while it will require a lot of imagination, the end of Israel as a Jewish state could mean the beginning of democracy, human rights, and some semblance of justice in a land that has almost forgotten what that means.

    Hannah Mermelstein is co-founder and co-director of Birthright Unplugged, which takes mostly Jewish North American people into the West Bank to meet with Palestinian people and to equip them to return to their own communities and work for justice; and takes Palestinian children from refugee camps to Jerusalem, the sea, and the villages their grandparents fled in 1948, and supports them to document their experiences and create photography exhibits to share with their communities and with the world.

      After your usual repetitive rant, one thing remains constant: your hatred for Israel and Jews. Jews who believe in the right of Israel to exist are Zionists; they have just as much right to love their country as any other citizen from a sovereign nation.

      As usual this is not the thrust of the topic. Your obsessive hatred for Jews forces you to repeat the same crap that frankly most of us are sick of hearing about. Even you must get sick of yourself too.

        I think hyperbola is bin Laden in drag, or just as likely the only KKK member who knows how to type.
