Maybe I am a little slow, or maybe it's something that nobody has yet realized, but in the process of debating the issue of the settlements in the West Bank, it dawned on me that all official proposals for an agreement between Israelis and Palestinians - whether the ones submitted in Oslo or Camp David, or the ones still at the US or the Quartet's drawing board - are racist in their very essence.
The idea that the Palestinian state to be established as a result of the agreement should be free of Jews, is quite racist on itself. But what is more appalling is that this idea is being supported and actually crafted by whom? By countries like the US, France, Great Britain among others, countries that supposedly are the first line of defense against racism and apartheid!
And to add insult to the injury, the media at large are the public endorsers of this plan. Think of it: many in the media that are highly critical of Israel and that often publish articles claiming that Israel is a racist and apartheid state are the ones defending a plan to have a Judenrei Palestine.
How incredible is that? Not incredible at all... it's happening just in front of our eyes! Is it possible that nobody - not one single person, has raised his/her voice to denounce this absurdity?
