Barak's comments are bland, showing no understanding of the complex and real dynamics underlying the Israel-Palestinian confrontation.These are platitudes offering "feel-good" comfort, no value judgments. Whatever his other political virtues, thisis not good enough to define a position which gives comitted Jews any comfort. Sorry.
