Unfortunately, writes R. R. Reno in Bad Dreams , today’s first “On the Square” article, a Jesuit writing on the Holy Land in the Jesuit magazine America offers “easy Leftist slogans rather than serious analysis” in his proposal for a single, and non-Jewish, state. Here, peace
will require what peace always requires: careful, prudent decisions and actions tailored to the realities at hand, with a sympathy for the interests and perspectives of everyone involved, and no reckless reliance upon human goodwill to overcome human passions.
Unfortunately, Fr. Schroth seems to think otherwise, for he proposes a truly fantastical one-state solution. In his dream world, Israel will give up on the idea of a Jewish state, paving the way toward a utopian Greater Israel in which Jews and Arabs will link arms and sings Kumbaya. A single post-ethnic state will, he imagines, become Switzerland on the Mediterranean.
