A fundamental first step in bringing peace to this conflict would be for an American President to clarify for voters how our national interests differ from Israel's interests. For we already know that both major parties claim to protect Israel's security. So when does that protection of Israel's security end and ours begins? When does American interests ever conflict with Israel's? A first step in that direction is to reaffirm our objection to Israel's announcement today that it has set a date to invade Rafah's refugee site. Whether through a U.N. Security Council vote or in a bilateral talk, we ought to let the Israelis know that we will not let them do so.
