Zeev Sternhell Haaretz 
From the perspective of law, negotiations on the partitioning of the land is an existential danger to the Palestinians because they recognize the same equal rights Eretz Israel to the Jews.
The facts must be recognized: the leaders of the political right have a strategic vision and a capacity 'of long-term vision, and they also know how to choose the tools right to carry out their mission. The proposal to amend the new law on citizenship, which seeks to foment a state of constant turmoil between Jews and everyone else, and 'only one aspect of a comprehensive plan whose official spokesperson and' the foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman.
The other aspect is the promise of the foreign minister to the nations of the world that our war against the Palestinians is an eternal war. Israel needs an enemy inside and outside, a constant sense of emergency - 'cause the peace, both with the Palestinians in the territories or the Palestinians in Israel, is likely to weaken to the point of existential danger.
In fact, the truth ', which includes most of the leaders of Likud, is permeated by an awareness that the Israeli society lives in constant danger of breaking from the inside. The virus strikes the democratic and egalitarian body politic from within. This virus is based on the principle of universal human rights and fosters a common denominator among all human beings, because they are human beings. And what human beings have more 'in common except the right to be masters of their destiny and equal to each other?
From the perspective of the right, and 'here is where' the problem: negotiations on partitioning the land is an existential danger to the Palestinians because they recognize the same equal rights of Jews to Eretz Israel. Therefore, in order to prepare the hearts and minds to the exclusive control of the Jewish population of the whole country, you must adhere to the principle that what is truly important in life of human beings is what binds them, but what separates them . What separates most of 'the people of history and religion?
In addition, there is a clear hierarchy of values. We first of all Jews, and only if we are certain that there will be no clash between our identity and tribal and religious needs of Jewish rule, on the one hand, and the values \u200b\u200bof democracy, on the other hand, Israel can also 'be Democrat. But in any case, it will 'always given preference to its Jewish character. This guarantees an endless struggle, because the Arabs refused to accept the ruling of inferiority that (Foreign Minister) Lieberman and Justice Minister Yaakov Neeman means for them.
This is the reason why these two ministers, with the tacit support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, rejected the proposal that the oath of fidelity said to be "in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence." For as they see it, the Declaration of Independence, which promises equality for all regardless of religion and national origin is a document whose very purpose and 'destructive, and at that moment that the real purpose was to appease the Jews and not to be helped in their war of independence. Today, in an Israel that is armed to the teeth, only the enemies of the people would give legal status of a statement that in any case, few have ever taken seriously.
This is where the religious dimension comes into the picture. Just as it did between the conservative revolutionaries of the 20th century nationalist and neo-conservatives of today, religion plays a crucial role in crystallizing the national solidarity and preserve the strength of the company.
Religion is perceived, of course, as a system of social control without metaphysical content. Therefore, people who hate religion and its moral content can be alongside people like Neeman, who hopes one day to impose on Israel the rabbinic law. From their point of view, the role of religion is to impose the uniqueness of Jewish principles universalioltre and push the limits of national existence.
In this way, discrimination and inequality, ethnic and religious e'diventata the norm here, and the process of de-legitimization of Israel has raised. And all this is the work of Jewish hands.
