So just as we must condemn and delegitimize terrorism perpetrated by Palestinian extremists, we must also point out the insanity of the settlement policy. While Heilman may feel the burdens of military action as a soldier, he must also recognize the burden of the Palestinian population being slowly constrained from all sides by Israeli territorial expansion...
