Stripping UNESCO funds over Palestine is a mistake
The U.S. sacrifices its own best interests with punitive laws that require defunding of vital U.N. groups who dare to recognize Palestine as a state ("UNESCO vote on Palestine shuts off funding from U.S.," Nov. 1). There can be no clearer example of the...Tags: Israel, UNESCO

Shalit release: A flawed deal between sworn enemies
Both Israel and Hamas are claiming victory in the prisoner swap that will free more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails in exchange for Sgt. First Class Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier kidnapped by militants five years ago and held...Tags: Peace Negotiations, Terrorism, Israel, Mahmoud Abbas, Gaza Strip

An independent Palestine would be just another rogue state
Reader Christopher Boardman should check his facts before he writes that "Palestine has had its land stolen without compensation for years" ("No reason to deny recognition to Palestine," Sept. 20). What land? The United Nations awarded Israel part of...Tags: Petroleum Industry, Pikesville, Israel, United Nations

Jerusalem belongs to the Jews
Like most such dialogues, the recent discussions about Israel and Palestine at the U.N. ignore international treaty law ("Bid for statehood may end," Sept. 21). Jews were given legal and political rights to what is now called Palestine in 1920, when...Tags: World War I (1914-1918), Armed Conflicts, Jerusalem (Israel), Religious Conflicts, Civil Unrest

U.S. is wrong on Palestine
This week, the Palestinians will petition the U.N. Security Council for admission as a full member state. Admitting Palestine would be a nightmare for Israel and a serious problem for the United States. Nonetheless, President Barack Obama made the wrong...Tags: Egypt, Economic Sanctions, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iraq

No reason to deny recognition to Palestine
I was disappointed with the genuflection of your editorial opposing U.N. recognition of an independent Palestinian state ("A painful veto," Sept. 19). The U.S. should support membership in the U.N. for Palestine. What are The Sun and President Obama...Tags: Israel

U.S. must veto Palestinian statehood
Israel and the Palestinians are on a collision course this week, as the government of Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas prepares to unilaterally seek United Nations recognition of an independent Palestinian state. If Mr. Abbas goes through with...Tags: Peace Negotiations, Israel, Religious Conflicts, National Government, Mahmoud Abbas

A U.S. veto of Palestinian statehood would uphold international law
I disagree with Ariel Ilan Roth's op-ed "U.S. is Wrong on Palestine" (Sept. 21). I will make a purely legal argument why the U.S. should veto Palestine's unilateral attempt for statehood in the United Nations. The following information is from the...Tags: International Relations, Israel, Turkey, Palestinian Liberation Organization, Judaism

Rabbi Michael Lerner: Fairness for both sides key to Middle East peace
President Barack Obama is reported to have said to his advisors last week that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would never make the concessions necessary for a peace accord. Well, we in the peace movement say, "duhhh."
If the president really...Tags: Peace Negotiations, Israel, Barack Obama, Judaism, Treaties

U.S. should pull funds if UN recognizes Palestine
The United Nations needs to be restrained and warned that a declaration of a Palestinian state must not come about. President Obama needs to assume some leadership role and responsibility for the first time. A declaration and the establishment of a...Tags: United Nations, Barack Obama

The United Nations created a Jewish state; it can also create a Palestinian one
I read with interest Rabbi Chaim Landau's comment on the possibility that the United Nations could recognize a Palestinian state in September ("Mr. Obama, don't equate Israel with its enemies," May 27). In 1948, the state of Israel was created by the...Tags: Israel, United Nations, Judaism

It's going to take more than Facebook to make peace between Israel and Palestine
The article "Social networks as a grass-roots approach to Mideast peace" ( July 18 ) misses the point when it lists the Israeli-Palestinian conflict's core issues as "...mutual recognition and respect, ideology and dignity." In fact, there are four key...Tags: Facebook, West Bank, Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu
