… if you look over the last several years, we’ve had these cycles of violence, rocket attacks, ground incursions, massive loss of civilian life. And what have we discovered, is that violence begets violence, extremism begets extremism… and here’s the thing, from Israel’s point of view, as someone who is a staunch defender of Israel’s right, of course to exist, but much more importantly, to defend itself, and to secure the safety of its own citizens. I simply do not believe…the evidence shows this is the case, you know, you’ve got to learn from history, look at recent history…it’s the third major ground incursion into Gaza, it does not make the people of Israel safe. I just don’t think it is in Israel’s interest to have this strategy of sporadic military intervention, and not sustained negotiation to create…at the end of the day, the braver, bigger, bolder thing to do would be to do what has happened in Bosnia, and Northern Ireland, and other bloody conflicts, is people who loathe each other, you know, detest each other, nonetheless pluck up the courage to talk to each other in order to secure peace.
