Bush's Trip
By Micah Halpern

Tuesday January 8, 2008

I've Been Thinking:

The Israelis have prepared a full diplomatic agenda in honor of the visit of US president George Bush.

The three most significant issues on Israel's agenda with Bush are:

Iran's true nuclear capabilities - the US president will get a peek at Israel's National Intelligence Estimate.

The Qassam rocket barrage from Gaza - because Palestinians are exerting no control and taking no action against the terrorists launching the rockets.

Jerusalem is the undisputed capital of Israel - and Har Homa is unquestionably a neighborhood within Jerusalem.

President Bush will have no choice but to both agree and disagree on all issues. Agree on the grounds that these are all real problems with significant ramifications.

Disagree because Israel, too, must exercise restraint.
Disagree because Israel should not embark on unilateral actions.
Disagree because any new buildings, striking out at any Arabs and organizing anything against Iran rocks the boat - and the President definitely does not want boat rocking in an already turbulent sea.

Restraint is the classic United States admonition of Israel.
