[lbo-talk] Benvenisti: The Inevitable Bi-national Regime (Was: Chomsky regards himself as a supporter of Israel)

[Ira Glazer]

This, from the man who arguably knows more about the reality of the occupied
territories than any other Israeli analyst.

It is no longer arguable; the question is not if a binational entity be
established but rather what kind of entity will it be. The historical
process that began in the aftermath of the 1967 War brought about the
gradual abrogation of the partition option, if it ever existed. Hence,
bi-nationalism is not a political or ideological program so much as a de
facto reality masquerading as a temporary state of affairs. It is a
description of the current condition, not a prescription.

translated as,

 'How Israel became a bi-national state'
