Journalist Peter Beinart, who used to contribute to the New Republic, which long collapsed in quality, has since been espousing propaganda hurtful to Israel. Here's an op-ed about him and why he's doing more harm than good:

Peter Beinart’s two pieces—one in The New York Times and the other in Jewish Currents—are calling for the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state. Beinart no longer supports a two-state solution, but rather a binational state where Jews and Arabs share sovereignty in the territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. This idea is ahistorical, unrealistic and holds Israel to an impossible standard and, if implemented, will likely lead to disaster.

Many Jews feel guilty for the plight of the Palestinians. Beinart’s way of dealing with these feelings is by eliminating the Zionist project—one of the most amazing success stories of national revival in history. Discussing the elimination of an existing state is unprecedented. Israel is not an idea. It has existed for 72 years. No other country in the world is under such non-stop debate about its right to exist while it already does so.

Those feeling guilty for the "plight" of the faux-palestinians are liberals. People desensitized to violence with no proper compass to guide them through life, or put any value on humanity. Here's another article about him on FPM by Joseph Puder:

The arrogance of both Beinart (editor at large of Jewish Currents) and the NYTimes are clearly exposed in ignoring the will and wishes of the Israeli people. The overwhelming majority of Israeli-Jews are proud of their Jewish state and would not be compelled to share it with an Arab-Palestinian people who seek their destruction, to kill them, or displace them. A look at the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) charter, not to mention Hamas’ charter, reveals those very intentions. After two millenniums of persecution in the diaspora, both in Christian and Muslim lands, Israeli-Jews cherish their one Jewish state in the world, a state that has been a major Zionist success story.

Frankly, few Jewish people care about Beinart “disbelief” in the Jewish State. Beinart’s views regarding the Jewish state are shared by many enemies of the Jewish state, the Palestinians in particular. These enemies couldn’t destroy the Jewish state by war, terror, or economic and political warfare. Some Palestinians might agree to a bi-national state as the first stage before eliminating Jews by sheer weight of importing Palestinians from throughout the Middle East. Once they have become a majority, they would democratically or otherwise (through terror) abolish the Law of Return, and all the symbols of the Jewish state.

Beinart’s proposal of a unitary bi-national state would result in the elimination of the very purpose of Zionism – to have a sovereign state for the Jewish people in their ancestral home. The example Beinart provides for conflict resolution – peace in Northern Ireland between Protestant and Catholic, is a pitiful case. Both Catholics and Protestants share the same Judeo-Christian mores, the largely secular ways of western societies. Beinart seems to have deliberately overlooked Islam. Islam is a triumphalist religion, which seeks to reshape the world in its own image with sharia law. Palestinians have embraced such features of Islam as Jihadism and martyrdom by suicide killers. Contrast that with Israeli Jews commitment to peace and enshrining the value of human life.

I think Beinart needs to retire from journalism. He's badly educated, irrational, and chooses to look at everything through rose-colored lens. He's not suited to be a news reporter.
