A Jewish state has existed for only short periods in Judaism's history, and it twice committed political suicide. The reasons were always the same: politico-religious fanaticism and the blunder of challenging the prevailing world powers - hence modern Zionism's obsessive quest for a binding alliance with a superpower.....
The right's fatalism about the chances of peace is a useless adviser in foreign policy. Political positions are not eternal; they are always susceptible to change. Nor is it true that nothing can sway the Arab world from its hostility to Israel. The Arabs might never accept the moral justice of Zionism, but, as the Arab Peace Initiative indicates, they would consider accepting the political legitimacy of a Jewish state.
