JUST TRY TO IMAGINE...:

In Israel, cooler heads weigh in (Boston Globe, April 9, 2011)

AS ARAB governments fall and totter around Israel, and as more and more countries indicate they will vote for recognition of a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, a group of prominent Israelis has come to the clear-eyed conclusion that the status quo is untenable and dangerous for Israel. These aren’t unworldly peaceniks; the group includes former heads of Israel’s intelligence agency, secret service, and military. Their Israeli Peace Initiative reflects a desire to keep their country safe and preserve it as a democratic, Jewish-majority state.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should welcome it. The plan looks past the parochial interests of political parties in his coalition government, and its core recommendations would have the support of key cabinet members, particularly Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who said recently that while negotiations with the Palestinians have been trying, “the alternatives have also become much worse.’’

...a Globe editorial speaking favorably about folks trying to keep Arizona an Anglo-majority state.
