Submitted by Richard D. Wittrup (United States), Oct 11, 2007 at 19:20

The problem of any ethnically exclusive political idea such as Zionism is its lack of a theoretical foundation in political philosophy.

One sign of that is the absence of any clearly expressed concept that justifies why non-Jews in Israel should accept that they will be ruled by Jews or why leave if they don't want to be ruled by Jews.
