Israel, Palestine can coexist

Regardless of the reasons why Washington supports Israel with United Nations votes and why it does not want to see Palestine independent, the U.S. foreign policy on the Israel-Palestine question violates the UN Charter and other provisions such as the Declaration of Human Rights and the U.S. Constitution itself.

The Israeli Jews have disrespectfully ignored the reality of multi-racial and multi-ethnic U.S. nationalism. They have placed themselves in the position of racists, upholding the principle of apartheid in keeping with the principle under which the state of Israel was proclaimed on May 14, 1948. Upholding views of racial superiority, like those upheld by Hitlerite Nazis, Israeli Jews consider the Arabs as a race of "beggars", a label that they will also, indirectly, slap on America and other nations.

Realizing it or not, the Israeli Jews have shown in their attitude that by not fully complying with two international treaties, they have automatically disparaged the U.S. Constitution. Implicitly or explicitly, they think low of the United States people. U.S. intellectuals must know this opinion aired by Prof. Louis Henkin: "Americans are leading among the architects and builders of human rights and later international covenants on civil and political rights, which are in essence America's constitutional rights projected the world over." (Louis Henkin, Rights: American and Human, Columbia Law Review 1979, pages 405-415)

If the American young generation of 1887, the initiators of the U.S. Constitution, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the initiator of the Atlantic Charter (Aug. 14, 1941) and the UN Declaration (Jan.1, 1942), could be brought back to life, they would be very disappointed with the present American generation for extending total protection of the Zionist and racist Israeli Jews, who practice apartheid. This protection automatically is tantamount to not honoring and upholding their own constitution and the great merits that Roosevelt showed for humanity.

The multi-racial and multi-ethnic U.S. people should remind their ruler that the protection extended to the Israeli Jews means that the U.S. are trampled under the Israeli Jews. It seems the demand voiced by the conscience of the majority of human beings that the U.S. ruling regime realize their faults irrelevant to the national interest of the American people. The Palestinians can be free, on the de facto and de jure basis, and co-exist peacefully with other nations. May this come true.
