The Petri Dish

Much of the world is trying to grow a new state, and we are left to speculate on the nature of that polity Palestine. Those agitating for the new Palestine are planning to carve the state out of Israel, a nation with a history and track record that stems from an ideal called Zionism, in which an egalitarian state would be formed, seeking to bring prosperity to all her citizens by making the desert bloom. Those fomenting the loudest for one more Arab Muslim state greeted Mahmoud Abbas on his return from the United Nations with cheers of "with our blood and our souls" we will liberate "from the river to the sea", leaving no room for Jewish neighbors. The intentions of the Palestinians for their coming state remain unconcealed and are clear. A state conceived in hate wants to implement ethnic cleansing and genocide and most of the nations of the world will vote to carry out these aims, in a tacit endorsement of religiously-motivated murder.
