It's not just the American public. The state of the debate on
Israel/Palestine has deteriorated world-wide, as far as I can see. 99%
of the participants in the debate these days are completely polarized,
with each side screaming at the other (and doing more than screaming,
of course, as the casualties attest). The other 1% is still trying to
come up with an actual solution to the problem, but no one can hear
them.
