Leon Wieseltier Fears for Israel’s Future

American writer Leon Wieseltier says, “Unless there is a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there will not be a Jewish state for very long.”

This is what he’s talking about:

In the next few decades, the number of Palestinians is expected to exceed the number of Jews living in areas now under Israeli control. Those who agree with Wieseltier insist that if Israel maintains the status quo, where Palestinians in the West Bank can’t vote, but Israeli Jews can, it will end the country’s democracy but maintain its Jewish character. Or it could grant Palestinians equal rights, including voting rights, threatening the country’s Jewish majority.
