Waitangi
Edelstein over at the Head Heeb has sparked a lively debate on the status of Arabs in Israel. His reasonableness has convinced me that I can approach a reasonable set of positions on an interminable set of dilemmas I have always been loathe to approach. Do read everything on this matter of the Waitangi Option.
I am particularly noting this in that it gives a bit of perspective on the proximity between America blacks and whites, legally speaking as well as a comparative standpoint with which to compare American Natives' legal rights. It fits nicely into discussions about the tension between nationalism and pluralism and the necessity (or lack thereof) for a legalistic framework. At what depth into the legal framework of a nation should minorities be recognized?
