May 25 (Bloomberg) -- If I were a Palestinian (and, should
there be any confusion on this point, I am not), and if I were
the sort of Palestinian who believed that Israel should be wiped
off the map, then I would be quite pleased with Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu’s performance before Congress this morning.
I would applaud Netanyahu for including no bold initiatives
that would have suggested to the world that Israel is alive to
the threat posed by its seemingly eternal occupation of the West
Bank.
