on Abdel Bari Atwan's statement

"Obama wants us to recognise Israel as a Jewish state, what about the 25 percent of its population who are not Jewish, in particular the 1.5 million Arabs living inside Israel? "

As Islamic states are genocidally ethnically cleansing their countries of citizens who are of other religions, perhaps Israel should follow the Arab, Iranian, Pakistani and other Islamic countries' examples, who are setting the bar on this behavior and do the same with Israel's Muslim population so there's no question about Israel being a Jewish state.

I wonder how many Israeli Arabs would willingly leave Israel for any other Islamic country.

No degree of hypocrisy is too embarrassing or offensive for Islam.
