Out of the closet at TIME: Would SANCTIONS AGAINST ISRAEL help the Palestinians?

Calling Samantha Powers !

Bias? Ignorance? You bet TIME. Time to check the mirror.

"If, and as long as between the Jordan (River) and the [Mediterranean] Sea there is only one political entity, named Israel, it will end up being either non-Jewish or nondemocratic," warned Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak last week. "If the Palestinians vote in elections it is a binational state, and if they don't vote it is an apartheid state."

Former President Jimmy Carter suffered a verbal pummeling three years ago for comparing the standoff between Israel and the Palestinians to apartheid -- the South African system that meant not only segregation, but a denial of citizenship to a whole category of people. And so it was ironic that a key Israeli leader warned his people that the status quo on the territories conquered by Israel in 1967 amounts to the same thing.

No, actually what he was saying was that THAT IS THE WAY THE ASCENDANT FORCES OF PUBLICITY WOULD PAINT IT, but your inner compulsion to run, as Dan Rather did, to believe what your prejudice dictates finds another explanation. That Israelis believe they live in an apartheid state.

TONY KARON has a problem. Read the rest of his scribbling. The real question is why TIME has gone this route. But then we always have the answer don't we.

2600 years and counting.

Israel, 6 million jews and 8000 square miles. New Jersey.
Arabs 300,000,000 plus and ....?? KSA 830,000, Syria 275,000, Jordan 32,000+, Iran 636,000, Egypt ..the size of Texas....

HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK WE ARE TIME?

The defense minister of Israel warning that Israel would really be an apartheid state at the Herzilya security conference, where terrorism is the main subject?

Sanctioning Israel would just make Israel, Russia, and China the bestest of friends. That is certainly not in the interest of U.S. security, but then again, to quote a friend: "The reason why I’m a “recovering Democrat” is that I now realize that the Democrats are concerned with symbols, not the real world. You can bombard them with the truth. They don’t care. You can slam them on the head with all the jobs statistics you want. They don’t care. The symbol trumps everything. When they get a symbol in their heads, they are totally impervious to reason."
