Liberal supporters of Israel slam Trump’s ‘terrifying’ comments– some saying Jews need to keep a majority

US Politics Philip Weiss on February 16, 2017

In the hours since President Trump said he was agnostic about whether Israel and Palestine should be two states or one, many supporters of Israel have taken to the airwaves to cite the danger that a one-state outcome would pose to Israel’s Jewish majority. Some liberal supporters of Israel spoke frankly, and illiberally, about demographic concerns in a one state outcome: that Palestinians will outnumber Jews, thereby endangering the “Jewish democracy.”

Land Grab: Israeli settlements in the West Bank
Features

Today there are over 750,000 Israeli settlers living in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. These settlements are considered illegal under international law. There is now a growing movement in Israel to annex the occupied territories completely. This would put an end to hopes for a Palestinian state, and the two-state solution.
