The Middle East Dilemma reminds me of what families go through when a distant cherished member becomes ill. It is often difficult to make a decision about what should be done.
Here in America, families and friends are often unable to discuss reasonably and without rancor the stalled peace initiative between Israelis and Palestinians. Family members become accusatory, questioning legitimate concerns and disparaging others about what to do next.
Unlike my fictional example of what happens when a distant beloved family member becomes ill, the Israeli Palestinian dilemma is real, yet in many ways it is distance and experiences that separate our opinions about how to proceed.
One thing I am sure of, calculated political rhetoric helps neither nations or people when less than constructive behavior is exhibited. It does seem unsavory and destructive to me when politicians use such a situation as fodder for their election.
