Palestinians should gladly accept a dhimmi-equivalent status in Israel

Reader comment on item: Achieving Israel Victory with Martin Sherman
in response to reader comment: Dear Dr. Pipes

Dear Dr Pipes,

Of course, going by the western and democratic standards Palestinian should get equal rights in Israel. But morally, speaking Palestinians should decline equal rights and should accept a ldhimmi-equivalent status in Jewish state of Israel. That only makes sense. If Palestinians pay a Little bit of Jaziya Ta, Jewish rulers can protect the rights of minority Muslims in Israel. Because in Torah somewhere God must have said that there is no compulsion in religion.
