Presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Thursday that she would not attend the annual American Israel Public Policy Conference in March. “For America to be a good ally of Israel and the Palestinians, we need to get both parties to the table. We’re not getting that if we just stand with one party,” Warren said.

While seeking to set herself far apart from the pro-Israel stance of President Trump, Warren should beware of believing that turning away from Israel will create peace in the Middle East. She may also want to examine the repercussions our ally Israel is facing as a result of good-faith attempts to strike a solution for peace in its region.
