Justice - Real and Counterfeit

Maybe I'm paranoid, but when pro-Palestinians say they want "peace with justice" or a "just solution to the Palestinian Refugee Problem", I believe they mean the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state, either through outright dissolution or indirectly by allowing the "Right of Return". Since they can't say this outright, they use vague terms that mean one thing to one audience (Westerners) and another to Palestinians and their supporters. It seems to me, at least, that the justice is only for the Palestinians, not the Jews. This would also explain why "Nakba Day" is davka on the day of the establishment of the State. Thus the "injustice" is not just the Nakba but the very establishemnt of a Jewish state.
Luckily, there are still a few tzadikim in Sodom who will call a spade a spade - Prof. Amnon Rubinstein is one of them. In a well-written article he lays out the justice of the Jewish national cause. God Bless men like him.
