Christian Democrats in the United States

Israel does exist, and we decry all attempts to terrorize its civilians with useless and counter-productive attacks. However, a peaceful world of international civil law can never exist while some people are denied citizenship in any country. Everyone has a right to form governments so they do not live in a brutal state of nature, and so do Palestinians. Israel must accept the existence of a Palestinian state, and must work to provide a level of civil equality for them.

President Clinton accomplished marvelous results in the Israeli-Palestine conflict before the end of his term, and the first thing G.W. Bush did was to withdraw Clinton's special envoy and adopt a hard-line stance. This action sabotaged efforts for peace and destabilized the region, led to further conflict and let the violent Hamas group step into the power vacuum. We must return to the diplomatic table in Clinton's spirit of reconciliation, to build a Middle-East world in which Israelis and Palestinians are able to peacefully co-exist.
