>>Fairly balanced opinion piece<<

At least your comment show your willingness at certain degree to accept balanced viewpoints.

You quote >>“The fundamental of my views are simply that Israel has the right to exist, and the Palestinians likewise, in a state of their own.<<

Perhaps quoting Miller's short paragraph would help us see his thought on the issue better:

“The fundamental of my views are simply that Israel has the right to exist, and the Palestinians likewise, in a state of their own. With the expansion of settlements I have witnessed, initially with surprise and then with incredulity, what seemed a self-defeating policy ... the settlement policy appears to have changed the very nature of the Israeli state and that a new birth of a humanistic vision is necessary if the Jewish presence is to be seen as worth preserving. To put it perhaps too succinctly - without justice at its center, no state can endure as a representation of the Jewish nature.”
