If Palestinian statelessness is at the root of the crisis, then the solution is obvious. The Palestinians must erect, and be recognized as, a state. Israeli squatting on Palestinian territory is theft on a grand scale, i.e., a tort, writes Juan Cole, concluding, If President Obama truly wants to make a mark on history, authorizing Secretary Kerry for more, likely fruitless negotiations or easily derailed agreements is not the way to do it. Rather, he should show the boldness he did with regard to Cuba, and simply recognize Palestine and send a US ambassador to East Jerusalem. Theres no chance of that, given that Barack Obama is bought & paid for by AIPAC & the Israel lobby. The way forward, in my view, is the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement & pursuit of a one-state solution.
