AMERICAN Jews--and Israel--should recognize Palestinians' right for statehood, but they need not revoke Israel in the same breath. Distant from the struggle, we might use our perspective to initiate the intelligent discussion that seems impossible right now on the West Bank.

Some Democratic leaders are already frustrated over the party's inability to coalesce around a nominee, especially now that the Republicans have all but chosen their standard-bearer. But the Super Tuesday delegate jam may have given the Democratic contenders -- particularly Dukakis and Gore -- a chance to catch their breath and remind themselves that a campaign should be a battle over ideas and visions, not merely synthetic campaign messages. At the moment, it is a democratic principle that only Jackson seems to understand...
