"Until there is peace in Israel/Palestine, this is going to get worse."

Then the Palestinians better get busy making peace with Israel, because the Palestinians are in a position of weakness and the Israelis are in a position of strength.

"The US must come down very hard on Israel"

BS and to he** with Tony Blair, Europe, bin Laden, Scheuer, and anyone else who thinks that the solution to the problems in the Middle East are that the US has not come down hard enough on Israel. Clinton already went down that road and we all saw the results.

"The US must come down very hard on Israel"

Nice use of selective quoting. What I said was, "The US must come down very hard on Israel and the Palestinians to create a workable peace" and I stand by that statement.
