Congratulations to Mr. Ackerman for recognizing what everyone else should: if you elect terrorists to run your government, you shouldn't expect the world to support you. It is the Palestians fault if they are cut off from the welfare lines, not anyone else's. They need to renounce terrorism, recognize Israel's right to exists, and then maybe we can talk about engagement. In the meantime, they continue to wage war on Israel - and war is what it is - and cutting them off economically is actually a relatively bloodless way for the cvilized world to win that war.
