I should not have read the entire thing since Lowenstein is obviously an anti-Western ideologue who is heavily invested in hating all things associated with it -- especially Israel's existance -- and one who believes that if a yak in Outer Mongolia gets a case of the shivers it was somehow caused by the Great Satan America.


Sorry I miss read that you did read the article and rejected it because she is an "anti-Western idealogue"?

Jennifer Lowenstein is a member of Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions. Who are they?
ICAHD FIRST ISRAELI PEACE GROUP TO CALL FOR SANCTIONS

From their web site

As Israelis, we believe that the only chance for a genuine peace is one that enables the Palestinians to establish what we have, a viable and truly sovereign state of their own.


I suspect she is reflecting an impartial view of the situation, condemning both sides and hoping they can meet somewhere in the middle and find resolution. Idealogue? Perhaps but what would that make you?

I have long been opposed to unconditional support of Israel. I believe this has led us nowhere as far as a resolution to the Palestinian issue. It would be disingenuous to believe the one-sided support of Israel can in anyway be helpful to the peace process. I do not believe the US can be a part of the solution taking that position.

My current solution is for the US to invade Israel-Palestine, capture the leaders of both for negotiating teams, lock them in a room, tell them they can not come out until they resolve their issues. If a two state solution is agreed upon then Israel would be the first to recognize the new sovereign state. If a one state solution is found then everyone in the UN would recognize it in one statement.
