Obama's Speech on Palestine/Israel 9-10 and International Law

OBAMA’S SPEECH ON PALESTINE/ISRAEL 9-?-10
Democracy Now 9-24-10 commentary by Canadian lawyer Diana Buttu criticized O’s speech 9-?-10 of empty words that ignored Israeli illegalities and general oppression. The peace process has failed for 17 years because the US did not insist that Israel follow international law, which would have prevented the settlements, wall, demolition of P homes, and other aspects of the occupation. She called for tying US aid to Israel obeying international law--a settlement freeze and reversal, stopping home demolition, etc. For full text google Democracy Now.
