Read over this conference call that high Obama aides had with the press Friday in preparation for tomorrow’s meeting of the president and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; and you will see that the administration cannot even talk about the occupation. It will only issue bromides about the two-state solution in the distant future and “settlement building” — as if this even touches on the apartheid conditions Palestinians experience.

As you read these excerpts, reflect that Israeli forces just killed a 72-year-old woman deep in the occupied West Bank– 27 years after Israeli forces killed her husband in the occupied West Bank. Husband and wife were killed by occupying forces on lands that were supposed to be a Palestinian state.
