I do agree that the massacres and the tragedy of October were the most horrible things since the Holocaust. You will not get any dispute on that from me.
Is there a benefit to discussing the issue? I do believe that there is a benefit to debate between citizens.
My position is that Israelis and Palestinians would greatly benefit from negotiating towards the establishment of a Palestinian state and an Israeli state living in peace and security. Is the moment now ripe for these negotiations? It might be naive to think so, but I do think that we have tools in our tool box to press for this outcome of a negotiated settlement.
