How helpful is it, in your opinion, for those of us on the left to keep reminding Israelis that, whatever other obstacles there may be to peace, the sixty-year-old Israeli dispossession of many Palestinians, continued maltreatment of them, disproportionate violence in Lebanon, and close cooperation with the oppressive Pahlavi regime in Iran are very much live grievances in Iran and throughout the region, and that addressing these historic injustices might enormously reduce threats to Israeli security?
