Dear Editor,

From the beginning, political Zionism carried seeds of its own destruction.  Religious Zionism merely calls attention to the tragic flaw in both ideologies:  the conviction that Jews and non-Jews can never live together in peace. Religious Zionism projects this belief into the divine will, thereby sacralizing the mission of the Zionist state.

Israel’s leaders have demonstrated this conviction by ongoing policies of "transfer.”   As Ben Gurion put it in 1937, "The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war."

Israel already operates a “separate and unequal” system, which Prof. Taub denies.  The only question now is whether Israel will reinforce its system
