Still Time to Diffuse Israel's Arab Question
The Current Discussion: Israel's real "existential question" is whether or not to disenfranchise its Arab minority, says Fareed Zakaria in his column this week. Is he right?
This is truly an existential problem - so much so that one should try not to answer it, even as some populist politicians may try to force a debate on the issue. A majority of Israel's Arab, non-Jewish population would negate the basis of the Jewish state; a modern democracy can do nothing to disenfranchise any group of its citizens.
