Adrian Hamilton, a columnist at The Independent, is against recognizing Israel as a Jewish state. Here's why:
The more closely you define Israel as a uniquely "Jewish" state, the less room there is for it to act as a co-operative member of a Muslim majority Middle East. Its role becomes that of an enclave which views itself as not just separate but in clear opposition to everyone else about it.
There's simply no point under these circumstances in pursuing peace negotiations.
Where in Hamilton's world can Jews go to "fit in?"
