Crimson > 400 liberal rabbis send letter to Bush

If that letter is from liberal rabbis I hate to see what the conservative rabbis would say.

>>2) Nevertheless, for the new Hamas-led Palestinian government to achieve international recognition and standing, it must "recognize Israel, disarm, reject terrorism, and work for lasting peace," just as you specified in your State of the Union address.<<

How can Hamas "recognise" Israel as a prerequisite to any dealings with Israel when the boundaries of Israel are precisely what the argument is all about? The "recognition" of Israel has to be the result of negotiations with Hamas not a prelude to those negotiations and so by insisting that Hamas "recognises" Israel, the liberal rabbis effectively support the extremist Likud position which is not to negotiate with Hamas, or whoever, and impose a unilateral "solution".
