A World Without Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Amnon Rubinstein - On bookshelves in the West, you can see quite a number of books which wipe Israel off the map. These books attack the very idea of a Jewish state. It is significant that nobody writes about "A World without Syria" or without Iran. Why shouldn't the Jewish people enjoy the right to self-determination? Why should this right be granted to the Sudanese people and not to the Jews? Why is it so preposterous that there should be one state in which Hebrew is the official language and Jewish holidays are official days of rest? Israel-bashers use a style which is very similar to the language used by anti-Semites: Israel is inferior and should not enjoy the rights accorded to other peoples. The Nazi refrain was "the Jews are our disaster"; now, the Jewish state is being portrayed as the world's disaster. The writer, a former cabinet minister and professor of law, is currently dean of the law college in Netanya.
