While this is a perfectly reasonable point of view for an Israeli, as an American I can't help but disagree. The basic problem is the repeated failure of the Government of Israel to faithfully discharge its duty under international law, which duty it has frequently and proudly accepted, to protect the right of free access of people of all faiths to the holy places in Jerusalem. This is not a question of internal Israeli politics or the opinion of individual Israeli citizens, it is a solemn obligation of the State of Israel to the entire international community.
