Please read this NY Times Op-Ed ( http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/26/opinion/support-palestinian-statehood....) from Israel's former Deputy Foreign Minister and then urge President Obama to help broker a real and permanent settlement to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that offers security and dignity to all concerned. Further delays will only empower the extremists on both sides of the conflict and thereby lessen the chances of ever achieving lasting peace.
