Secretary of State John Kerry is making an all-out
effort to restart peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine. Many
well-intentioned people with hands-on experience in resolving other
longstanding, global issues, like those of Ireland, South Africa, and
U.S. civil rights have engaged in the Palestinian-Israeli issue. While
there is always a great deal to learn from other global experiences, the
case of Palestine is different and unless Secretary Kerry recognizes
this all efforts will be in vain. Three issues related to this conflict
that are crucial to understand are: historic guilt, colonial
responsibility, and the U.S. “special relationship” with Israel.
