I’m much more with J Street than I am with Sen. Warner on this one. I also agree strongly with President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, who “have privately and publicly been warning Israel that the moribund prospects for peace were undermining Israel’s ability to remain both Jewish and democratic.”

1. Being a democrat...

I'm with Obama. My feeling has been that being a Democrat doesn't mean I have to decry the building of a wall in America and support one in Israel. The settlements are full of radicals looking for a fight and it has to stop.

2. What does this mean?

“The U.N. Security Council on Friday passed a resolution demanding Israel cease Jewish settlement activity on Palestinian territory in a unanimous vote that passed when the United States abstained rather than using its veto as it has reliably done in the past.”

Should they be building more settlements?

3. No n/t

4. Either one opposes the settlements or one opposes

Israel remaining a Jewish and democratic state.
