Apartheid city
New Arab city will perpetuate inequality
We should oppose the construction of a new Arab city on principle. From here it’s a short distance to pushing Arab citizens out of so-called 'Jewish' cities.

It’s time for the Palestinians to reshuffle the deck
The Palestinian Authority could either dissolve itself and shoot for a
one-state solution, or immediately call new elections and get rid of the
corrupt old guard.
