Mr. Greenway has never shown a capacity to understand the situation faced by Israelis. Most Israelis don't want to station troops In the West Bank. The Arabs of Palestine could have had the West Bank and more as their homeland decades ago. They rejected that option because of their desire to destroy Israel in its infancy. And what about the security wall? Prior to the suicide bombings in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem by Arab fanatics, the economies of Israel and the West Bank were intertwined and prospering. Arafat and the PA/PLO chose terrorism instead. The security fence has protected countless Israeli Jews and Arabs from brutal terrorist attacks.

The Europeans are part of the "quartet'' of peacemakers, made up of the United States, Europe, Russia, and the UN. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ You mean the Europeans who sided with the rebels opposing Kaddafi in Libya? Those Peacemakers. Or the Russians who invaded and occupied to this day half, of their 'former' state of Georgia; and who fostered the development of nuclear weapons in Iran? Those peacemakers? Or the US whose destructive settlement freeze policy foisted upon Israel by President Obama, gave Palestinians the convenient excuse to not engage in direct talks with the Israelis? The ones who have been militarily engaged in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya and Yemen? Those Peacemakers? What parallel universe do you live on, Mr Greenway?

Do you suppose the nerds at the Globe who run this pathetic website realize that they have a problem with the left margin? They must, but they seem incapable of fixing it. Whatever the Globe is paying these techies, it's too much.
