Legal and Ethical Basis For "State Of Israel" Recognition

Submitted by Robert Rosenthal (United States), Apr 6, 2014 at 19:17

Your blog is a thorough discussion of insistence upon formal recognition of "The Jewish State Of Israel", and justification of this position. Israel need not be under any compulsion, express or implied politically, or psychologically, to establish a right to a peace as a Jewish State that has already been earned and has been established by right and in defense of attempted prior conquest. Palestinians must be brought to realize that any sovereignty on their part can only be achieved by the grace of Israel as a Jewish State, and that the experience of the past sixty five years has proved the Jewish State of Israel's respect of non-Jewish populations and their freedom of religion and full civic rights as citizens.
