I'm not one who believes that the Israelis are necessarily wrong in every instance and Palestinians are necessarily right in every instance. But I do believe that the Arab-Israeli relationship is an extremely complex one and efforts to improve it are not aided by one-sided oversimplifications and unconditional blanket support of anything and everything one party happens to do. Yet because the American Jewish lobby is so organized, influential, and faithful to this one single issue, it becomes very difficult to get anywhere in national politics without pandering to them. And I do believe that produces bad policies which, in the long term, serve neither Israeli nor Palestinian (nor American, for that matter) interests.
