Well done, a gold star for you my son and you get to go home early today. Its very simple - if you want to deny critics of Israel the moral cover of the settlement enterprise, the simple and only solution is to have Israel withdraw from the territories....

and withdraw from most of the WB. I'd like to see the anti-Israel crowd try and subsist on minimizing Hamas attacks. The sad thing is that some groups will continue to demonize Israel no matter what it does.

Approve: 59 Disapprove: 23 Not Sure: 17 Should the Palestinians be required or not be required to recognize Israel as a Jewish state in a...
