I've already said thanks to Joe Offer in a personal message. I'll do it here publicly. I hope the discussion of Barack Obama's position can continue without personal attacks.

Given his views, I think Obama may be the best hope, for the Israelis and for the Palestinians, for leading the way to peace and prosperity for both sides. If he's elected, he'll need to engage the issue right from the start of his presidency and not do too little too late like the lamentable Bush.
