Letter from Jerusalem – November 17, 2014<\/p>\n

The One-State Reality <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Israel’s conservative President speaks up for civility, and pays a price. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

By David Remnick <\/p>\n

Reuven (Ruvi) Rivlin, the new President of Israel, is ardently opposed to the establishment of a Palestinian state. He is instead a proponent of Greater Israel, one Jewish state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. He professes to be mystified that anyone should object to the continued construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank: “It can’t be ‘occupied territory’ if the land is your own.” <\/p>\n
