Ehud Barak breaks the apartheid barrier

By M.S.

WE'VE been talking a lot lately about Israel and American Jews, so here goes another post on the topic. On Friday Daniel Levy wrote a trenchant response to what Ehud Barak, Israel's former prime minister and current defence minister, said at the Herzliya Conference the week before. To wit:

If, and as long as between the Jordan and the sea, there is only one political entity, named Israel, it will end up being either non-Jewish or non-democratic... If the Palestinians vote in elections, it is a binational state, and if they don't, it is an apartheid state.
