German top-journalist doubts long term survival of Israel

Peter Voss, one of German's most known top-journalists and a conservative liberal, ousted himself as a pessimist, to use his own words, expressing his doubts about the possibilities of changing internal processes inside the Arabic countries, or any change in mentality, which according to him in the long run would force Europe to reabsorb Israel's Jews.

GERMAN TOP-JOURNALIST DOUBTS LONG TERM SURVIVAL OF ISRAEL

It is quite rare to hear a conservative liberal doubt long-term survival chances of Israel. So happened last Sunday (30 July 2006) on the nationwide broadcasted news program Presseclub from the German TV-Channel Das Erste. In that program journalists discuss actual themes. Last Sunday it was about the situation in the Mid-East. The program's moderator Peter Voss, one of German's most known top-journalists and a conservative liberal, ousted himself as a pessimist, to use his own words, expressing his doubts about the possibilities of changing internal processes inside the Arabic countries, or any change in mentality, which according to him in the long run would force Europe to reabsorb Israel's Jews.

If You understand German You can listen to the program at http://www.wdr.de/radio/radiohome/aktionen7/wdr_5-podcasting.phtml 'till Saturday 05 August 2006. Peter Voss speaks out his words around the 34:10 minute.

Though I find his argumentation quite fuzzy, it's conclusion goes much further than most alternative or progressive thinkers in the West and the East dear to think.

Personally I find it the only possible conclusion. When You study the historical founding of the State of Israel, You can only define it as some kind of land-robbery, in end-19th, beginning 20th century colonial style, with one of the most craziest ideologies human mind ever produced as motivation, zionism. It is very sad for the United Nations that it tried to give this land robbery legitimation. But no instance in the world, not even the United Nations, has the right to legitimate one of the biggest injustices in history. As long as the west continues to try this, they must understand that they loose their credibility throughout the world. Wouldn't it be so tragic, You might laugh about it when these conservative-liberal intellectuals complain about Arab mentality or the internal processes in the Arab countries. Is it western mentality that You cannot see anymore what is right and what is fault ? Are the internal processes in the western countries that keep up one of the biggest lies of the 20th century, something we have to be proud of ?
