THE CANAAN BLOG

Blog of a well-known american professor of political science advocating inclusion of Israel and Palestine into the United States of America as a 51st State named Canaan.

A Big Idea to keep in mind

A Big Idea to keep in mind

Many israelis, Jews, and Palestinians like the CANNAN USA 51 idea, but believe it impossible.
Actually, Canaan State is very possible!
But
Let us suppose that the full Statehood cannot be achieved.
THINK OF THIS FACT:
That all the work that is put into trying to achieve CANAAN STATE IS HELPFUL and GOOD!
If 1,000 political and ideological things must be won before admitting the U.S. State of CANAAN, of which 500 are easy, 400 are not so easy, and 100 are hard (of which 1 or 2 are impossible), still israel and Palestine will both be working much better and will be greatly improved compared with what would otherwise be the situation. That is to say, for example, if everything is done to admit Canaan State except that the final vote on the Canaan State Constitution lacks a majority, all the hundreds of victories that are the achievements adding up to Canaan would have already turned the minds of millions around, and focussed the attention of the world on the right ways to go. This has happened for instance with Puerto Rico, which is not quite a State and voted against admission, but it is so close to enjoying all the advantages of U.S. full citizenship and protection that the people are much better off than they would be if the island had been set adrift in 1898 or even now.
