Hey Brad, I thought this wasn't about justice! Do the Palestinians have the right to live in peace behind secure borders? Or does one side sacrifice rights for peace while the other side withholds peace until all its rights are secured?

So it seems that lots of people have good ideas as to how Palestinians are to achieve their rights: Israel should simply withdraw behind the 1967 border. (But why not the 1947? Or the 1907? Or the 1867?)

But there is another set of rights at issue here. Presumably Israelis have a right to live in peace behind secure borders. Does anyone have a clue as to how that is to be accomplished? Or is the long-term plan for everyone now in Israel to move to Greater New York?
