New York Times Letters to the Editor, September 27, 2009

There has always been a peace consensus in the pro-Israel community ready to compromise. Until Israel’s critics figure out how to acknowledge the pain and suffering resulting from Palestinian terrorism and exterminationist rhetoric, by pointing the Palestinians and the Arabs toward real change, they will fail to sway those Israelis and Jews that are ready to take a shot at reconciliation.
