To end the Israel-Palestine conflict
Regarding “The two-state imperative” (Globalist, July 23) by Roger
Cohen: My heart sinks when columnists toy with the topic of
Israel-Palestine by insisting that Israel needs a two-state
solution in order to remain Jewish. There is a much better
argument, a more civilized imperative and a much more righteous as
well as sensible way to build a just and lasting peace: Both
Israel and Palestine need a two-state solution in order to
actually end the Israel-Palestine conflict. A fully secular end to
the conflict would be based on respect for international law and
universal basic human rights.
Religion should be a personal private choice as well as a
cherished inheritance, not a state-sponsored project. Taxpayers
here and there should not be forced to fund and empower religious
scholars and schemes.
