"Beautiful resistance" - that phrase reminds me of Sizer, reputedly architect of the Wall idea - "Resistance is Existence" (I'm told by reader P) Sizer sometimes observes on Facebook re Israel/the Palestinian Arabs. I'm sure the phrase does not originate with him.

Many European states do it including of course the UK where it is constitutionally impossible for a Catholic to be head of state. (it goes without saying, nor a Jew). I'm picking on Ireland because Irish are so prominent with those anti-Israel sneers about "God being a real estate agent". There is none of this religious sectarianism (for example) in Israeli basic law. There is no reason why a Muslim or Christian (or atheist) could not be president. geoffffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056725010151459750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-63688744329911930922014-01-03T06:18:22.995+11:002014-01-03T06:18:22.995+11:00No there's little need. Why? You can't sha...No there's little need. Why? You can't shame the shameless, you can't scold people who admit they are hypocrites. All of this is really for the cheap seats anyway. It's for the NYTs and the White House and the so called 'public opinion'. But the NYT and the White House are opposed to Israel no matter what. They're not interested in a solution, they're interested in hate. That's the role they've taken on. So a more useful tack is to have Israel agree with anything and everything the Arabs appear to demand. Just nod. It won't matter because as soon as someone agrees with the Arabs they either run away or make even more insane demands, which in turn lead to more demands and so on. Because the objective of the Arabs is to make demands. That's their definition of success. They don't want a 'state'. They want to pretend they are supreme kings who can't make endless demands and proclamations. If one were to agree to what they demand, and the Arabs actually began to act on it, it would lower their self esteem it would lower their prestige in their own eyes. Their only response can be yet more demands. You don't even have to worry that agreeing with them would ever put you in a weak position. It can't. That's not the point of it.
