Miller e' uno di quei personaggi che popolano i sogni bagnati degli
antisionisti. Un intellettuale liberal americano che da anni recita la
parte del sionista deluso da quella puttana della realta', e da quei
cafoni levantini di politici israeliani. Non rappresenta nessuno, ma
viene spacciato per una specie di punta dell'iceberg  degli ebrei
delusi, che starebbero abbandonando Israele al suo destino. Proprio
per questo  il suo articolo e' significativo: muove (anche) critiche
ai palestinesi responsabili dello stallo permanente nel processo di
pace.
 
...Palestinians deserve an independent state living in peace and
security alongside Israel. They've suffered enough; their cause is
just and compelling. Abbas is a good man who has eschewed violence and
together with his prime minister, Salam Fayyad, has begun to create
the infrastructure and institutions of statehood. The Palestinians'
desire to change the paradigm by shifting from an arena where they
have limited influence (bilateral negotiations with Israel) to the
international arena where they have more is as understandable as it is
unwise. Indeed, nothing that will happen in New York this week or next
that will bring Palestinians any closer to realizing real statehood;
it could, in fact, take them farther away.
 
Second, we can blame everything on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu from morning to night -- but it would be an unfair and
dishonest analysis. There's no doubt that Israeli settlement activity
and inflexible positions on Jerusalem, borders, refugees, and security
have made this Israeli government a tough and often recalcitrant
partner in the peace process. Still, the last time I looked, this
Israeli government is a legitimate result of political and coalition
realities in a democratic polity; and, I might add, with 32
governments since independence (the average length being 1.8 years)
it's also proving pretty durable.
 
To put the entire blame for the current impasse on Netanyahu just
doesn't add up. The gaps on the core issues, particularly the identity
issues -- Jerusalem and refugees -- have been unbridgeable for more
than a decade now -- in Ehud Barak's negotiations with Yasir Arafat
back in 2000 and Ehud Olmert's with Abbas in 2010. Furthermore, the
current Palestinian polity is more Humpty Dumpty than an
authoritative, cohesive political partner. A significant part of it
(Hamas) sits in Gaza and competes with the one that sits in Ramallah
-- not just over seats in a parliament, but on the basic issue of
where and what Palestine should be. The current PA lacks a monopoly
over the forces of violence, political strategy, resources, even
people. And no Israeli government will be willing to make a deal with
a partner that doesn't control and silence all of the guns of
Palestine.

 realities in a democratic polity
 
e quale corto circuito logico collegherebbe l'ostilità del governo
israeliano alla pace con la sua democraticità?

Aggiungerei che è molto buffo vedere dei poveri idioti (non è il caso di
Miller, ma è il caso degli antisemiti-antisionisti) che si bagnano i
pantaloni quando l'accordo di pace con l'Egitto diventa carta straccia.
 
Però pretenderebbero che Israele corra a firmare subito altri accordi, qui,
subito. A qualsiasi condizione. 
 
Molto cirqueiano.

 israeliano alla pace con la sua democraticità?
 
in democrazia si tengono le elezioni, e gli elettori israeliani,
evidentemente, non si fidano delle proposte di pace provenienti
dall'ANP (l'elettore qui presente, io, quelle proposte di pace nemmeno
le vede, ma voi non elettori siete convinti che ci siano).
Tutto sommato, meglio lo status quo.
