US President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel at this juncture constitutes, perhaps, a rare opportunity to clarify the legal rights of the Palestinian people — namely, the right of return — and to establish Gaza as an integral part of the territory of the Palestinian State that was recognized on Nov. 20, 2012 as an Observer State in the UN General Assembly.
The White House is anxious about Obama speaking at the Knesset during his visit to Israel, because they are “worried about Mr. Obama being heckled” by those opposing his polices. In comparison, when Netanyahu visited the US Congress, they provided him with 29 standing ovations! A large majority of the congress goes overboard declaring their enthusiastic loyalty and support of Israel, while the Knesset is avoided because of possible raucous debate.
