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

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

We have to be capable of facing such a number.

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.

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 are taking sure, steady steps to a place where the state of Israel will no longer be a democracy and a home for the Jewish people,
