The title was very carefully chosen by me. And the first word is the most important. It's Palestine. The land of the Palestinians. It doesn't refer to Israel at all.
I recognize that Israel is a wonderful democracy with freedom of speech and equality of treatment under the law between Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis.
I don't think the administration has ever picked up the ball, much less dropped it.
I hope that this book, which is -- has a provocative title, but I don't consider provocative to be a bad word.
