[Peace-discuss] Langenheim vs Gill

[Ricky Baldwin]

Gill was at the Socialist Forum panel on the
primaries, when the subject of Israel came up and we
were bemoaning the vagueness of all the candidates on
the issue.  All he said was, "I support a two-state
solution."  Even Sharon agrees with that much.

Langenheim did compare Israeli policy toward the
Palestinians to the European settlers' treatment of
Native Americans.  What that means in terms of what
action he'd support, who knows?
