...stemming from the essence of its biblical roots, must be respected. Government democracy didn`t exist during King David`s period - a monarchy. One has nothing to do with the other. Also, democratic processes do not always lead to morally right consequences. For example, Palestinians voted for Hamas, but not for launching Qassams unto Israel! The basis of the text in the declaration of Israel`s establishment reads with appeals for coexistence with " all neighbouring states and their peoples (this would have included the Palestinians of today)... to establish bonds of cooperation and mutual help with the sovereign Jewish people settled in its own land." As then in 1948 and to date, the premise has always been for two states side by side. But something happened on the way to the forum! |
