A SINGLE STATE SOLUTION

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets." - from the Sermon on the Mount, Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth The following is a collection of writings by or quoting people who are generally recognized as manifesting to a greater degree than most of us that quality we refer to as "wisdom," and are mostly household names. About half are Jews. Bertrand Russell, Erich Fromm and Isaac Asimov An example of what is possible ...I said, "name one Jew of world renown, someone highly respected, a writer, a scientist, a philosopher, an artist, a jurist, anyone who embodies that well-deserved reputation that many extraordinary Jews have earned over the centuries - name one, since 1948, who is a Zionist, who supports the State of Israel. Name one." And then I just looked at him. I said "I can name dozens who didn't, who don't, who are, or were before they died, anti-Zionists. Starting with Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, the great philosophers Martin Buber and Hannah Arendt, and so on." Well, he just looked at me, and then he said, "You know, I'll have to think about that." I challenge anyone in this audience to name one. Good luck... - from a speech given by Roger Tucker |
