Not That Smart for an Academic

Zev Shternhel writes:-

The Six Day War took Israel back an entire generation. It has now become clear that colonial rule encourages the mixture of populations, and occupation requires seeking destructive solutions in terms of human rights. We should not delude ourselves: A democracy of lords will not last long. If we consciously create second-class citizens, if we anchor discrimination in a law armed against the intervention of the Supreme Court - the only gatekeeper of our liberty - we necessarily undermine the foundations of democracy.


And the demographic situation, combined with a worsened security situation, will not bring about any significant change in the reality of what the Arabs intend to do and what, then, forces Israel to respond in its self-defence and future existence.
