To the extent that I have a beef with him, it’s that he seems to view Israel’s recognition of Palestinian peoplehood as both proper and irreversible. He doesn’t connect the dots–Nasser Youssef repudiates Palestinian peoplehood when he envisions Israel and Palestine “federating” with Jordan, and Syria, and Iraq.

Palestinian “peoplehood” is part and parcel of the culture of denial that Haleve properly decries. It’s both a lie and a weapon that is wielded by the Arabs in their unending war against the Jewish state. To the extent that there is a unique Palestinian identity, it is that the Palestinians personify and embody Arab anti-Zionism.

Either Halevi doesnt see this or he’s too much of a dhimmi to say it.

Yassir Arafat has been indispensable for not only the Palestinians but for us…in telling us our place in the world. He’s been a shadow prime minister of Israel for 40 years.
Arafat made clear to us that our great victory in 1967 would not lead to lasting peace.
Following the Yom Kippur war, Arafat started the deligitimization of Israel that is culminating now, two decades later.
In some sense, Arafat’s greatest offense against Israel happened in the 1990s when he toyed with our deepest longings and seemed to offer us legitimacy, which we so desperately craved.
If Arafat is hated universally [in Israel] from left to right, Yossi Beilin said he would not go to his funeral…
Arafat represented the post-Holocaust legitimization of the murder of Jews and the delegitimization of the Jewish state.

Yossi supports Ariel Sharon. He says Sharon’s approach to Israel’s security is supported by at least 70% of the Israel public (support levels that no other Israeli politician could match). Yossi supports Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza and the construction of a fence to keep terrorists. The fence would mean that Israel is going to retain sovereignty over greater Jerusalem. It means that every time Israel has offered the Palestinians an opportunity for a negotiated settlement (since 1947) and the Palestinians have spurned these overtures, the Palestinians are steadily being offered less and less.
Yossi says that only Israel’s hawks can fulfill the vision of its doves. The left was right that Israel can’t continue to occupy. The left was wrong in thinking that Israel could negotiate peace with the Palestinian leadership.
