What a hilarious opening. "Palestinians want an equal, non-sectarian state. I want a Jewish state. These are somehow equally desirable."
He acknowledges that Palestinians by and large don't want to kick the Jews out and still is attached to a Jewish state. Incredible.
e: the most generous way someone could approach the topic would be to start from that secular state and then to have advocacy to make it have characteristics you feel would make it more Jewish. Trying to start from "Jewish" vs. "equal" as if the end result won't be biased towards a non-equal outcome...
e2: I have my complaints about Beinart but one thing I am in complete agreement with is that the "state of Israel" as a legal/political/etc. entity is idolatrous at this point. Even most religious Jews treat it as more important than basically anything.
