Israeli Deportations and Peace Talks

I note with displeasure one of your Israel-bashing editorials (“Erecting Obstacles to the Peace Process,” Jan. 4). Israel is not supposed to retaliate against the murder of its citizens. Israel, a country smaller than Connecticut, is supposed to return land to its Arab neighbors who control sparsely occupied territories larger than the United States and Canada combined. Where is the logic?
