Now they tell us. David Rothkopf, a big Israel-supporter, at Foreign Policy:
Bibi faces a potentially seismic shift in Israel’s strategic position unequaled in nearly a half-century. As one worried, smart, well-known Israel-watcher said to me the other day, “They shouldn’t have located Israel in the Middle East. Too dangerous. They should have put it in the Middle … West.” For sure, if Kansas and Nebraska were his neighbors, Bibi Netanyahu would be a much more relaxed man today.
But as any student of Zionism can tell you, the Zionists knew at the turn of the last century, when Herzl was describing Zionism as a colonialist project, that the bride already had a husband, as one of them put it; Arabs lived in Palestine. The Zionists considered Argentina and Uganda too. I believe it was Noam Chomsky who said, Better they got New Jersey.
