My letter to My President March 4, 2013
Dear President Obama,
I was reading a report today that you were calling upon Israel to announce dates for withdrawal from the Occupied West Bank. I hope and fervently pray this report is true and that you maintain a resolve to see an end to Israel's Occupation of Palestine. Jesus says Blessed are the peacemakers, remember that always God is beside you in peacemaking. My prayers are with you and for you that you may succeed in turning Israel towards peace, in bringing the Occupation to an end, in taking the US away from providing Israel with money and arms to commit human rights abuses with in Palestine, and that you may turn our own nation away from more war. And I pray you intervene to see that Israel frees all the unlawfully detained Palestinian political prisoners, that includes hunger strikers Samer Issawi and Ayman Sharawna. You have the capacity to influence Israel, as the US provides Israel over 3 billion dollars in aid which Israel uses to maintain Occupation. We are The United States of America, and not The Unites States Of Israel. Please act to serve the interest of Americans.
Sincerely,
Sherri Munnerlyn

Here's your law lesson for the day pertaining to the legality of Jews living on their own sovereign land, moron...
Eugene V. Rostow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eugene Rostow, Legal Scholar, Former Dean of the Yale Law School, Under Secretary of State in the Johnson administration, US State Dept Legal Advisor, Drafter of UN Res. 242 pertaining to Israeli land in the West Bank...
The British Mandate recognized the right of the Jewish people to "close settlement" in the whole of the Mandated territory [Palestine]. The Jewish right of settlement in Palestine west of the Jordan river, that is, in Israel, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, was made unassailable. That right has never been terminated and cannot be terminated except by a recognized peace between Israel and its neighbors. And perhaps not even then, in view of Article 80 of the U.N. Charter, "the Palestine article," which provides that "nothing in the Charter shall be construed ... to alter in any manner the rights whatsoever of any states or any peoples or the terms of existing international instruments...."
The mandate implicitly denies Arab claims to national political rights in the area in favor of the Jews; the mandated territory was in effect reserved to the Jewish people for their self-determination and political development, in acknowledgment of the historic connection of the Jewish people to the land. Lord Curzon, who was then the British Foreign Minister, made this reading of the mandate explicit. There remains simply the theory that the Arab inhabitants of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have an inherent 'natural law' claim to the area. Neither customary international law nor the United Nations Charter acknowledges that every group of people claiming to be a nation has the right to a state of its own."

Rostow's opinion is quite a twist from what the LoN and the mandate say.
Can you find something to confirm what he says?
