There is no precedent that such a thing has ever proven effective. The heartfelt desire of this and other organizations for an immediate peace is understandable. At the same time, it is potentially disruptive to a longer term peace. The underlying assumption that if only the Palestinians were “given” more that they would come to terms is belied by everything that has come before in this long struggle. Most recently, they have shown themselves more willing to attack, more willing to teach hatred, more willing to destroy their own possessions and people when Gaza was returned. Patience, dear friends, is a difficult but more endearing and enduring virtue. Robert Gutman Urging Israel to talk with an enemy that has sworn to kill it is not useful or safe.
