Dear firebrand,

“Is one anti-American if one leaves everything up to our president and Congress? Just could be.”

I didn't say, “the Israeli executive and Knesset,” but rather, “the Israeli people.”

As well, I didn't say that I thought that everything that the Israeli people might decide to do would be good ideas. As an example, I'm kinda iffy on the whole Palestinian state project. My own preference would be to invite the arabs who occupy Judea and Samaria to leave for actual arab lands, like Jordan, Egypt, or other points north, south, or east.

Nonetheless, I'm not an Israeli, nor a Jew. It's hard for me to justify why my views should matter more than those of the folks who actually live in Israel, or folks with some sort of organic attachment thereto. I recognize that my own preferred solution may be seen by many WHO ACTUALLY LIVE THERE as impossible, and perhaps even undesirable.

And my own inclination is to defer to the judgment of the folks who actually live there.

You’re forgetting that our president and Congress were elected. That’s the method we have of taking the temperature of the American people. They were elected by people who do not have America’s best interests at heart.
