U.S. abstention is a message to Europe: End Israel’s impunity
The U.S. essentially admitted that its unyielding defense of Israel in the diplomatic arena was a disastrous strategy. With Obama bowing out, Europe will need to act on this lesson. Shortly after the UN Security Council passed its resolution criticizing Israeli settlements on Friday, the U.S. State Department issued a press statement by John Kerry…

What Clinton gets so wrong about Israel-Palestine
The façade of a peace process is an obstacle to achieving a just peace, for which there can be no alternative. Hillary Clinton believes that the façade of an Israeli-Palestinian peace process is preferable to no peace process at all, we learned this week from the presidential candidate’s private emails, hacked by Russia and published…

Can we call it one state and be done with it?
The debate over whether we are living in a single state is irrelevant – the answer is a resounding yes. The real problem is that freedom and equality are only extended to some of its subjects. “You’ve just crossed the Green Line.” I say it every time I take a friend or a group from abroad…

Oslo has become a tool for Israeli expansionism — it’s time to let go
The Oslo Accords have been manipulated for the unspoken goal of Jewish annexation of West Bank land. So long as both governments adhere to this failed system, they will be unable to pursue a real peace agreement. By Nathan Hersh The Oslo Accords are the banner accomplishment of the Israeli peace movement. But their impact on…

Security Council’s election message to Israelis: Keep ignoring the occupation
Israel and Washington together blocked a UN Security Council resolution calling for the implementation of a negotiated two-state solution within a year. Abbas’s diplomatic efforts have hit a brick wall. The Israeli government came out with the upper hand yesterday at the United Nations Security Council: a joint effort by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S.…

The hand that holds the status quo together
The Palestinians put forward a Security Council resolution calling for the end of the occupation by 2017. The Obama administration, which has supported essentially every Israeli policy toward the Palestinians, has promised to use its veto power. The Kingdom of Jordan on Wednesday submitted a resolution draft to the United Nation Security Council, which calls for the…

Israel’s UN ambassador puts another nail in the two-state coffin
‘Imagine the type of state [Palestinian] society would produce. Does the Middle East really need another terror-ocracy?’ Prosor said in a speech on Monday. In recent years Israeli government officials have learned that rejecting the rights of Palestinians should always go hand-in-hand with a verbal commitment to the creation of a Palestinian state. But the…

Israeli government votes to support annexing West Bank settlements
Whether or not the proposal becomes law, the vote itself broadcasts to the world that this government opposes a negotiated two-state solution. The Israeli government voted to endorse legislation to extend Israeli law to settlements in the West Bank on Sunday. What would that mean, you ask? For 47 years, the primary source of law in…

Labour MPs: Vote yes on Palestinian statehood
In an appeal that demonstrates the complete bankruptcy of the peace camp, the Israeli Labor Party is calling on its British counterparts to oppose the motion on Palestinian statehood Monday, ‘in the name of peace.’ Netanyahu couldn’t have put it better. The British Parliament will vote Monday on a motion supporting the Palestinian Authority’s request…

The occupation will last forever, Netanyahu clarifies
When Abbas joins the next UN body and signs the next international treaty or makes his next move aimed at advancing statehood, remember why he is doing so. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday put to rest any lingering speculation or hopes that the long-comatose two-state solution might ever be revived. All of a…
