This proposal could be a means to give ordinary Palestinian people a window into what is possible and maybe even to set up an internal push toward change in Palestinian leadership.

Nonetheless, Americans should not tolerate double standards, discrimination or blatant racism against any group of people.

The Palestinian government could choose to take care of its own people and has the money to do it, but instead chooses to fund terror.

Lost in the media hoopla over the move is a solid discussion of the law and history shaping this historic moment.
