Paul Eidelberg, PhD Biography
- Title:
- President and Co-founder of the Foundation for Constitutional Democracy in the Middle East
- Position:
- Con to the question "Is a Two-State Solution (Israel and Palestine) an Acceptable Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Arab-Islamic culture is utterly opposed to the basic principles of democracy however understood. This being the case, the Arabs of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza have no right, in this period of history, to an independent and sovereign state; indeed the creation of such a state, at this time, would serve neither the good of these Arabs nor the good of Israel. Any claim to the contrary by Arabs is but a ploy to truncate Israel and thereby facilitate its destruction. If such a claim is made by Jewish democrats, it merely reflects abysmal ignorance if not intellectual dishonesty.”
