Utopian

Right off the heels of my giving Peter Beinart rare kudos, he says:
I'm not asking Israel to be Utopian... I'm not even asking it to allow full, equal citizenship to Arab Israelis, since that would require Israel no longer being a Jewish state.

Yeah, I mean let's not go all crazy, wild-eyed liberal on this thing, right? No one's saying Israel can't have a permanent ethnic underclass or systematic discrimination of religious minorities. I mean, look, sure we may be pro-civil rights, but we're not ideologues!
