I just don't get it. As a Jew, and a human being, I try so hard to continue my support for Israel, but when the prime minister talks about peace negotiations announces that he is approving the construction of 750 news homes in the occupied West Bank, which is in violation of the so-called "Road Map," I can't help but wonder what this government's real intentions are.

I just clipped this. I don't think Israel and American Jews are on the same page.

Um...I don't think Israel's talks of peace, at this time, have any good faith.
