before i went to break, eli lake made an interesting provocative point about the sort of trajectory of the political veilance of the zionist project from its inception until now and being fundamentally alive with the left because of its socialist roots and now being fundamentally aligned with the right partly because of its opposition to islamic fundamentalism. peter, you want to respond to that? >> i think the problem is not that eli is wrong in saying that there are real threats from the islamic world towards israel. i think there really are when you talk about hezbollah. the question is what's the smart way to deal with them? it's undermining groups by hezbollah and hamas by empowering the people in the arab world and palestinian who is are willing, maybe reluctantly, to accept israel's right to exist.
