US DOUBLE SPEAK AT THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE

 While US weapons do the killing, the US appears to insist that the court strongly considers the original goal, to have this conflict resolved through negotiations by both parties.  While this is certainly a noble goal, facts on the ground have proved otherwise.  Moreover, Israel has consistently demonstrated its unwillingness to consider a 'Two State' solution.  It is naive to think that after more than 47 years of abuse, negotiation is the answer.  The US appears open to have this impasse last another 47 years or more.  I.E. give Israel more time, not only to change the geographic picture on the ground, by continued increases in Settlements, but also, displacement of all Palestinians one way or another, apparently, to make room for these expansions, illegal as these are, according to many UN resolutions, ignored by Israel.

After 47 years of impasse, it is about time to create a Palestinian State, the same way that the Israeli State was created, namely by an external edict similar to the Balfour Declaration.

 There are of-course lesser other means, one of which is, a) Palestine declared itself a State, a while back, and a good number of countries recognized it as such, however, major countries stood on the sidelines, and should to the same now, and b) the Arab/Muslim nations defeat Israel, and then all recognize a Palestinian State and the whole world must also.  Needless to say, a) a possible bloodless option would be the preferred outcome.

China explained, by referring to International Laws, that the struggle of the Palestinians against their Occupier, Israel, could include the use of weapons, for the purpose to enforce their right to self-determination.  Since the occupation exits for at least 47 years, or more, Israel cannot claim control over the territories for administrative purposes, which only applies to short term occupations, per international law.
