It is now clear that Israel is seeking to expand its territory into a Great Israel. But if it is to be saved and continue to exist, the international community will sooner or later have to intervene and impose a two state solution. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Israel will cease to exist.

If Israel would have been favorable to the 2state solution, with Jerusalem East as capital and the return of refugees in this new state, there wouldn't be « regional security concerns, nuclear ambitions, and long-standing political hostilities»

I intend to write a book on Rawls. Thinking with and against him. I am particularly sensitive to criticisms coming feminists (Carole Pateman, The Sexual Contract), Afro Americans (Charles Mills The Racial Contract) and Indigenous authors (Glen Coulthard Red Skin White Masks).

I understand the hierarchy between principles as similar to the relation between means and ends. The first principles provides the end while the other principles are means. But they are essential means to achieve them. So they are not subordinate to them.

I subscribe to a version of Political Liberalism. I have developed an extension of the law of peoples for complex societies in which people have different national affiliations. Most academics misunderstand Rawls' later views and the virtues of his Law of Peoples.

Third, within a capitalist society, Rawls advocates a Property owned democracy. It is an economy based on cooperatives. The principles of justice may also be applied within a socialist society. This is liberal socialism. So I'm not sure that what Heath puts in 'liberalism' corresponds with Rawls.

Secondly, even if the right to private property is included in the first principle of justice, it does not include the right to property of the mode of production.

Hello Daniel ! Nice to meet you. Joe Heath's paper is interesting. I am also a Rawlsian disciple, but unlike Heath, I am not a moral individualist. Rawls's liberalism is a rare case of a moral philosophy taking its distance from the ethical (moral) individualism of Kant and Mill.
