Palestinian statehood: U.S. veto ‘disappointing and shameful’
Re: “US vetoes widely supported resolution backing full UN membership for Palestine” [April 18, Nation & World]:
The U.S. veto of Palestinian statehood is disappointing and shameful. It is only because of the U.S. that the statehood vote failed.
How would granting Palestine full membership at the United Nations, similar to what other countries around the world enjoy, damage the prospect of peace between Palestinians and Israelis? The U.S. ostensibly supports a Palestinian state but requires that it negotiate with Israel to obtain statehood. Why should any people have to negotiate with a neighboring state to gain sovereignty and obtain UN membership? No existing UN member had to meet this test. It is unprecedented and nonsensical.
Our blind and unconditional support of the Israeli position on Palestinian statehood isolates us from the world community and compromises our own national security. The U.S. must extend to the Palestinians the same support that we extend to their Israeli neighbors.
