A critique of violence in Israel-Palestine can certainly incorporate criticism of stone-throwing,but it ought to recognize that a culture is no less violent for its fancy uniforms and the "official" manner in which it kills and maims.

One possible mitigating mechanism against resistance on the domestic side might be to build into the process a mechanism for ongoing consultations with AIPAC leadership. The same should be done with the leadership of groups like the American Task Force on Palestine.The key to their success would have to be quiet and decisive diplomacy.
