| Regarding Jackson Diehl’s Sept. 18 op-ed, “How Trump could save Palestinian statehood”:
Even though Mr. Diehl scoffed at the “hackneyed” Israeli-Palestinian peace process, he ended up advising that we should preserve and pursue that same exhausted strategy, after a delay of some unknown duration. His optimism was based on a new website that promises to determine how many Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories “actually stand in the way of an Israeli-Palestinian deal” based on analysis of satellite imagery.
Mr. Diehl should turn his gaze to the ground instead. Israel continues to impose harsh ethnic and religious segregation in the Palestinian territories it has occupied for more than 50 years, to allow the expansion of Jewish-only settlements. Palestinians living under occupation are tried in Israeli military courts, while neighboring settlers enjoy full civil rights under Israeli law. There can be no peace with such continued injustice. No high-tech website is necessary to know that what is long overdue is a “justice process” and U.S. support for Palestinian freedom and equality in line with American ideals.
