Time to Grow Up

RE: Mood Is Dark As Israel Marks Its 62nd Year As a Nation (20 April 2010)

To the Editor:

As with any conflicting country, there are many trials that it must go through in order to achieve peace. And it takes time; some reach that goal fast whilst others do not. Considering how short a time Israel has been a country, it has made significant progress. Even with the continual conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, the country has made strides to support itself. It is then through these observations that I find the article's Israeli arguments that the Obama administration is not supporting the country contradictory. America can remain an ally to Israel, but Israel should not continue to take for granted American support if they are truly dedicated to becoming a strong, peaceful country. The country should not forget how far it has come in the past 62 years, but it should not dwell on that past when looking ahead for a brighter future with the prospects of peace and prosperity.
