Before Peter Beinart argued for the end of the world's only Jewish state in the NYT, there were other sort of distinguished thinkers and moral philosophers doing the same: like the late Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi fantasizing about "Isratine"... algemeiner.com/2020/07/09/the…
Now that Peter Beinart has come to the same conclusion as Qaddafi, NYT editor Max Strasser expressed the hope that even if such views might at first seem “controversial,” they will “before too long … be mainstream opinion among American Jewish liberals.”

Former Obama administration official Ben Rhodes was also full of praise for the oh so progressive Qaddafi/Beinart guidance on "Isratine"...

But while Ben Rhodes may think Beinart's critics are dishonest, it's hard to overlook how dishonest Beinart is

Beinart not only casually dismisses 100 years of anti-Jewish Palestinian terrorism, but goes on to justify terrorism: “Yes, there are Palestinians who have committed acts of terrorism. But so have the members of many oppressed groups."

For his justification of Palestinian terrorism, Beinart wants us to politely ignore that the Palestinians are the world’s only “oppressed group” that has persistently rejected all proposals to have a state of their own.

According to Beinart, Israeli Jews should hope that once they give up on their state, Palestinians would feel they have all the “freedom” they ever wanted and violence would “decline.”

One of Beinart's inspirations for his views is none other than Israel-hater &Hamas fan Ali Abunimah

According to Peter Beinart, “Ali Abunimah’s book, One Country” is “both trenchantly argued and deeply generous in spirit. I wish I could assign it in every Jewish school.”

Yeah, this Ali Abunimah 👇
Whether it’s Ali Abunimah or Muammar Qaddafi or Peter Beinart, those advocating for the Jewish state's elimination always insist their motives are noble -- a hollow claim given their cynical disregard for the lives &aspirations of millions of Israeli Jews
algemeiner.com/2020/07/09/the…
And yes: most of those advocating the elimination of the world's only Jewish state may not admit it, but they're ultimately willing to risk massive anti-Jewish violence
Yeah, I mean, really -- how could the Palestinian not unleash the murderous Al-Aqsa Intifada in response to the Camp David/Taba offers that would have given them a state on almost all of the West Bank + Gaza + parts of East Jerusalem???
What's missing in this interview - and what all "equal rights" Isratine advocates should be asked, but never are - is: "So if you are for equal rights, you surely also support equal rights for Jews &Muslims on the Temple Mount?
So @PeterBeinart -- are you and the Palestinians you praise so warmly for helping to shape your views, e.g. @YousefMunayyer & @AliAbunimah, really for equal rights, incl. on the Temple Mount?
Anyone who thinks it's moral to replace the world's only Jewish state with an "Isratine" utopia where everyone enjoys "equal rights" must also insist that these "equal rights" apply to the Temple Mount.

"you don’t even have to be religious to realize that once Jews, Christians, and Muslims can pray together for peace on the Temple Mount, the extremists that have condemned the region to war and misery will face decisive defeat."
