Pressure on Israel

Interesting argument by David Aaron Miller in NYTimes article ,"On Middle East Trip, Clinton Turns up the Caution," that might (not sure) to quell some of us that are getting nervous about the lack of pressure on Israel to stop settlements and the destruction of Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem: "Pressuring Israel because we're frustrated with them or we want them to make nice with the Arabs is a dumb policy...Pressuring Israel at the right during a peace negotiation that actually promises to produce a breakthrough is much smarter."
