Kerry's "Dangerous Idea!"

"John Kerry tells the truth..."  and if you are the Secretary of State, well, that is just not tolerated. I have always been confused by the idea of "democracy, "and a "Jewish" state, they seem like two different things, not one thing. Especially when many, many people, 1.6 million of them are "Arabs," who happen to live there too.

It's a very charged issue, with lots of angry people on both sides. And neither side really wants to compromise or recognize the rights of the other side. But neither side can wish the other away. There are probably no simple answers, that's why it's been a thorny, bloody problem for a long time.

And a "two-state solution" seems too contrived too.  What if instead all people in the land were given all their full human rights? One state, like a mosaic, like a true democracy? I know even asking the question is controversial... but if we drop the mask, look clearly, it's obvious that  a "Jewish" state or "Muslim" state, or "Christian" state is already part of the problem, and anti-democratic, and leads to the latest "apartheid" state.
