I'm posting this as a seperate thread instead of sticking it in the presidential primary thread, by the way, because if this turns into the ugly sort of slugfest that some threads have devolved into, I a) don't want that thread to be polluted, and b)want this topic to be easily lockable without shutting down the larger discussion.

Characteristically nuanced and personal.
It struck me as odd in the preface how the author seemed to imply a lack of sincerity.

Sounds like a stance I could agree with. But I wonder if he would be able to recognize a situation where Israel and Palestine truly could not resolve their differences.

He seemed to more or less stick to what he's said before, only with more elaboration on why he feels that way.
In short: meh.

I have to agree with twinky. I did appreciate this, though:
quote:it’s a government and it has politicians, and as a politician myself I am deeply mindful that we are imperfect creatures and don’t always act with justice uppermost on our minds
Linking not to be taken as a sign of agreement with any of the assertions promulgated therein, particularly in light of the needless and seemingly petty denigration of the memory of Edward Said.
