I agree. Considering Haaretz is the daily infommercial of Israel's Extreme Left its a surprise Noam Arnon's article appeared in its pages. After all, this is the same paper the continually portrays the Jews of Hebron as Israel's equivalent of Southern rednecks. Arnon's point is well taken: the Jewish people's title to their country was given by God and is not dependent on numerical considerations. If Theodor Herzl and the early Zionist thinkers had been "realists," Israel would never have come into existence. All of the demographic projections about Israel being overrun in a few decades time by Arabs have been alarmist and have to date proven false. As long as Jews hold steadfast to the land, Arab efforts to uproot them will ultimately fail. And considering Israel is now in the midst of a war, more not less, Jewish unity is needed in order to defeat the Arabs decisively in order to convince then they have no chance of overwhelming the Jewish state by force. Would that Israel's Extreme Left realized Oslo does not work, Israel would be on the road to the tranquillity and security for which she longs. That is the tragedy.
