Speaking Out Candidly About the Israeli Lobby A Lobby, Not a Conspiracy By TONY JUDT Americans must not be afraid to debate Israel policy. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/19/opinion/19judt.html?th&emc=th .................. I agree with Tony Judt here that those of us who care about world peace and peace in the Middle East should be speaking out candidly as to how we can best achieve it. At the moment Israelis and Palestinians seem to be caught in a stalemate situation in which neighbors by geography do not trust each other. And the costs in human lives and diminished living conditions are spurring on animosities truly horrible to witness. I would agree that the U.S. must stop pussy footing here and put pressure on both sides to cool it. That will be a tough job to do even-handedly, but the sooner we do, the better for all. I imagine that the Bush administration is too diverted by its ideologues to accomplish this mission. But perhaps we can all start thinking our way towards a better future? -- "A war is just if there is no alternative, and the resort to arms is legitimate if they represent your last hope."
