To the Editor:Re “Palestinians Must Have Hope for a Brighter Future,” by Bernie Sanders (Opinion guest essay, Nov. 23):Senator Sanders states what has been obvious for decades to all who support two states living in peace, prosperity and dignity: The violence must end.
In this long struggle, extremists on both sides scuttle every hope for compromise and ensure the endless cycle of murder and retaliation.
The U.S. can pressure Israel by curtailing or attaching conditions to aid.
Senator Sanders and other peace-loving Americans must call on those Arab states that support Palestinian extremists to end their support and work toward genuine transformation.
I support Senator Sanders’s vision, but he doesn’t propose a concrete path forward, without which nothing will change.
