Gone are the days when Zionist Golda Mier assured his fellow Zionist thugs that “there is no such thing as Palestinian people”. Then they told the world that Palestinians already have a country, Jordan. On April 29, 2010 – Israeli daily Ha’aretz quoted Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin saying: “I would rather accept Palestinians as Israeli citizen than divide Israel and the West Bank in a future two-state solution. A month later, former Israeli  Defense Minister and a radical Zionist Jew, Moshe Aren endorsed Reuven Rivlin’s idea of a ‘one state’ for both the native Arabs and the foreign Jew settlers. However, he did mention his fear that absorbing another one million Palestinian Muslims and Christians living in the West Bank would pose a demographic problem which would end Zionists’ dream of a ‘Jewish State’.

Glad Atzmon in his July 20 post, titled “On the Israeli Right’s New Peace Agenda” wrote:

As the Israelis are becoming conscious of their inevitable tragic circumstances, a final desperate attempt to rescue the Zionist project has come to life. Astonishingly enough it is the Israeli right that is now pushing for ‘one binational State.’ It is pretty staggering to find out that while the Israeli so-called ‘left’ is locked within the 1967 territorial paradigm that is fueled by Judeo centric racial ideology, it is actually the hawkish Zionist thinkers who are willing to move the discourse forward.

This Zionist political novelty doesn’t take me by complete surprise. Unlike the Jewish left that is tribally orientated both in Israel and in the West, the right wing Zionist philosophy was grounded on a dream of an eternal bond between the Jew and the alleged ‘promised land’. In Zion the Jew was supposed to transcend oneself beyond the race and the tribe. Israel was there to demolish the ghetto wall. As it happened, in practice, Israel had become the biggest ghetto in Jewish history.

However, there is a clear trap here. As much as the peace loving Zionist hawks seem to  champion Palestinian civil rights, the vision of a ‘one binational state’ is still totally Judeo centric.  The Israeli advocates of the one binational state are not talking about a neutral “state of all its citizens”, nor about “Israstine” with a flag showing a crescent and a Shield of David.   One state still means a sovereign Jewish state, but in a more complex reality, and inspired by the vision of a “democratic Jewish state” without an occupation and without apartheid, without fences and separations.

I guess that this what it is all about. The Israeli hawks want to counter the inevitable ‘demographic disaster’. They would offer West Bank Palestinians Israeli ID cards, and  offer them to “enjoy ice cream in Tel Aviv” as long as they are kept as a minority. The Israeli hawks ignore Gaza  and the right of return. In practice they dismiss the Palestinian cause for they are certain that the Jewish one is superior. In short, this is not a solution or a resolution. It is just another Zionist spin  that is planted in our discourse in order to disseminate confusion.
