Read Jonathan Tobin's column Defending the Right to a Jewish State. He writes, "For far too long, those who have spoken up
for Israel in international or media forums have downplayed the
question of the rights of the Jews in the conflict and instead spoke
only of the nation's security needs. But when placed against Palestinian
claims of their rights to the same country—when Hamas talks about
resistance to the "occupation" they are referring to Israel within its
pre-1967 borders—such talk inevitably seems inadequate. Friends of
Israel are right to seek to promote the idea of a nation state for the
Jews not so much because Israel's laws need to be altered but because
Zionism is itself under attack and must be vigorously defended."
Here's the May 1948 Declaration of Establishment of the State of Israel.
It seems obvious, doesn't it? Why else would Holocaust survivors go to the safe haven of Israel if it weren't a Jewish state? This is one thing Israel should never make concessions on!
