We have been unwavering in our support for Israel, along with as even-handed an attempt to nurture the rattlesnake Palestinians into nonsnakehood as is humanly possible (an apparently absurd proposition on its face); and the Palestinians have been unswerving in their only occasionally unstated desire to drive the Israeli nation into the Mediterranean Sea.

Our administration will change in two years and some months, and the chances are rather good that a significant part of our policies will return to the humane pursuit of human rights around the world. Will the Palestinians change their policies at any time in the near future? Some hypocrisies are to be welcomed.

Wasn't Mr. Kuttab's agreed-upon subject Russia?
