The ever shifting goal posts of Israel.

I did not apply it to a different situation, you said that the breakdown of the Camp David Peace Accords was due to the PA "shifting the goalposts and demanding more".

I said does the breakdown of the Camp David Peace Accords justify what Israel is doing since the breakdown of the Camp David Peace Accords is the reason why we're in this mess.
The current quagmire was a direct result of Israel throwing a temper tantrum over the UN vote... not the 2000 Camp David talks...
To be clear, the Ps have shifted the goal posts on more than one occasion.

You're artificially linking the two different occasions, if that is your point.
 
I don't follow; on the one hand, you claim that the relationship between Palestinians and Jews cannot be racial, because they are both derived from the same original population, while implies a conception of race that is strictly biological or physiological. On the other, you claim that the genetically and physiologically near-identical population of the Arabian Peninsula do constitute a different race, which implies a cultural conception of race. So which is it?

Neither: I don't "claim that the relationship between Palestinians and Jews cannot be racial", nor do I "claim that the genetically and physiologically near-identical population of the Arabian Peninsula do constitute a different race, which implies a cultural conception of race".

What I did do was remark that "racist" might be an inappriopriate term, as compared to religious. I have no idea how that leads you to the above conclusions.

This:

I think his point is that ethnic differences are not the driving problem.

is much closer to the point.
