A very interesting article, Scott. Thanks for posting it. I'm working through the lists before I post anything with an aim to post that should you have failed in your self appointed duty. Not this time.

I have no sense as to whether Newman is right or wrong in his factual assertions but it's good to see that someone is writing about the Israeli peace movement.

I found this early paragraph among the most interesting:

The war against terrorism led by the United States has made nearly all forms of retaliatory action undertaken by Israel more acceptable; public survey data may show that the majority of Israelis still support a two-state solution, including withdrawal from the occupied territories and the dismantling of settlements, but until then we are fighting and killing each other with bombs and tanks on an almost daily basis.

I was not aware that polling data suggested that "the majority of Israeli's still support a two-state solution" and, this was the important item for me, that support includes support for "withdrawal from the occupied territories and the dismantling of the settlements."
