From ALICE (I): Gordon, this is my response to the question you raised over the last couple of days. I dont know if its the right thing, if Obama and Kerry are competent and respected enough to pull it off, or if it simply reflects my own style and personality (not to mention size, weight and gender) and may be dead wrong, but if risks are to be taken, this is the type of risk that speaks to me. I post this with significant trepidation. In this arena, posts about Israel are usually met with silence. In other arenas, powerful feelings rise to the surface quickly. Diplomacy involves compromise; risk is inherent to it. Iran is to be tested. Nobody can know the outcome. Things may unravel but at least there is hope. Perhaps this is what is most threatening to Netanyahu. He has never been willing to test the Palestinians in a serious way — test their good faith, test ending the humiliations of the occupation, test from strength the power of justice and peace. He has preferred domination, preferred the Palestinians down and under pressure. nytimes/2013/11/26/opinion/cohen-israels-iran-dilemma.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20131126
