To pull out of Gaza is not a policy, it is a step. Whether it is a step in the right direction toward a two-state solution or at least a step toward hope, we don't know.

We have to be capable of facing such a number.

We should fight terror, by all means, but not at the cost of cutting off any chance of talks with the pragmatists.

Americans should not impose a solution, but this administration will finally have to make it clear what its vision for a two-state solution is. Just saying 'a two-state solution' is too ambiguous. The vision has to spell out the details on final status issues such as Palestinian refugees, borders and Jerusalem.

There is now a broad consensus, that Israel will go ahead and build our borders to preserve Israel as a democratic Jewish state.
