America fought the Soviet Union for decades. We had thousands of nuclear missiles pointed at us for decades. We did not give up. We should not give up on our war against al Qaeda until we are certain that we have them on the run, until we are protected. We should not give up on Israel. We should allow Israel to take the time Israel needs to make its people safe. Because do we know what will happen? Once the world understands that America will not give up Israel, that Israel will always be around as a Jewish state, and that it is the Palestinian people's own interest to live in peace and freedom next to Israel, then we can give the Palestinian people what we want for all people: peace and a good life. But they must have leaders who will say in English and in Arabic to themselves and the world, we are ready to live next to the Jewish State of Israel in peace.
