Israel's president-elect Reuven Rivlin in his own words

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/blogs/politics/12023-israels-president-elect-reuven-rivlin-in-his-own-words

"The communities in Judea and Samaria [Ed. referring to West Bank settlements] do not threaten our existence, they guarantee our existence."

"Today, almost 20 years after Oslo, we can see clearly that the idea of separating the [Israeli and Palestinian] nations failed."

"For some reason the settlement enterprise is being accused of being an obstacle to peace. Personally, I explain at each possible forum that the obstacle to peace is the objection by the Arabs to it and the fact that they do not want us here".

Israeli citizens who marry Palestinians need to move to "the other side".


Nope no racism there. No shaming either. The only democracy in the Mid East ...cough...cough..racist apartheid colonizer...really is off to a great start with this right winger / asshat.
