vituperation or blind refusal to listen, but rather patience to read br these pages and honesty in evaluating them. Finally, let each br and every Jew ask himself or herself this question: Am I pre- br pared—given peace and an Arab population growth that will br make the Arab minority a majority—to allow that majority— br democratically—to change the name of the state to “Palestine”; br to abolish the Law of Return, which gives every Jew automatic br entry and citizenship (and which was the key in Zionist leaders’ br minds to keeping a Jewish majority); and to end—peacefully br and democratically—the Jewish state? The problem is that no Jewish leader in Israel or the Exile br has the courage to ask the question or to teach it to the Jewish br people. We avoid it even as we raise our money for the “Jewish” br state, make our vacation plans for three weeks in the “Jewish” br state, and sing the “Hatikva” at bar mitzvahs. The problem is br that no one thinks about the question. The problem is that so few br think. Dear Jew, do think. It may save the lives of millions. Even br your own. 9
