Netanyahu Shares His Vision of Bantustans With Brit Reporters

The Financial Times is a great newspaper. They have a piece on Bibi Netanyahu's plans for a Palestinian "entity." Netanyahu himself jumping up to the white board. Well it's subdivided "into a collection of disconnected economic zones with
dedicated business projects
," and there are security zones. Bantustans. It makes me want to vomit. Americans must ask, Do we want this? Is this fair? Will this end the cycle of violence? (No, no, no, to echo Khartoum). 

Memo to Ethan Bronner, of the NYT: You've been doing great work, dude, you're smart, you know the story. Now take this Netanyahu stuff and extend it. Tell us who in McCain's camp shares this view. Talk about Dore Gold, Netanyahu's ace boon-coon, getting $96,000 a year as a "scholar" in Jerusalem from the AMERICAN (?) Enterprise Institute, chaired by horsey-set Bruce Kovner, who with his wife gave $4600 to McCain. Then talk about all the advisers to McCain and where they are on the two-state solution. Get Randy Scheunemann on the horn and pin his ass down. Palin said she's for 2 states. But what does that mean? Isn't that the Netanyahu plan? Lay it out. Because this stuff is underlyng many of the battles in the American presidential race, and no one talks about it. Except you; and you will be showered in glory. Well–linked here for damn sure.

    What do you call Zionists who oppose this plan and think it is unfair to the Palestinians?

  2. Tommy says:

    Netanyahu's plan can only work if it is financed by the US.

  3. anon says:

    None of Israeli government plans have worked except for USA funding since 1967. American Jewish organizations have been
    why Israel has survived to this date, American workers have been the
    donkeys carrying the supplies over the hills–with some help from
    each generation of new Germans.
