The great Israeli statesman, Yitzhak Rabin, tragically murdered just as he was on the verge of pushing a deal with Yasser Arafat, toward a two-state solution, was frequently attacked by the right for his dialogue with the Palestinians.His explosion at his foolish critics — “You negotiate with your enemies!” — has gone into the lexicon as one of the essential political truths. (In private, I once heard him offer a more delightfully sardonic version, “The idiots want me to make peace negotiating only with friends. Sadly, even God does not grant us that more comfortable option…”)
