Excerpts from Douglas Murray's comments at the Munk debates in Toronto

Thank you for posting this, Cogito.

Douglas Murray is superbly brilliant, impressively eloquent, and right.

I have one difference of opinion with him. I do not want there to be a 23rd. Arab state, especially not one bordering Israel and reducing its size. Israel is too small as it is, c. 80% of the formerly mandated territory having been arbitrarily given to the Arabs against the intention of the Balfour Declaration. Jordan is the Arab “Palestinian” state. Existing Arab states should absorb the “Palestinian refugees”, just as Israel absorbed the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were exiled from the Arab states.

I agree completely.

Yes he made great points. I think even what he said about another Arab state was just to emphasise the point that it wouldn’t work because the Palestinians will never live peacefully next to Jews.
If they would, the debate wouldn’t be necessary!
