There is something reassuring in Mr. Netanyahu’s annual speeches to AIPAC each spring. It has become a litany and a dependable tradition.
This year I ask a different question.
Will Israel be in the news anymore once peace is reached?
What will it be like to be an Israeli who doesn’t worry about air raid drills anymore?
If we talk about Israel in the news once peace is achieved, what will Israelis want us to say?
Today, I am beginning to imagine new headlines about Israel and Palestine, the new binary stars of Middle East peace and prosperity.
I wish Mr. Netanyahu would imagine these new headlines, too, because he could be a life-giver just as Mr. Gorbachev was once he had the courage to stop fighting our grandparents’ wars long after they died.
Imagine new headlines about the twin nations of Israel and Palestine.
Peace now.
