Instead of doing the right thing and simply canceling it, once again pressed by AIPAC, Congress chose to keep the law in place. While Israel had recourse to go to the US Congress to complain about allegations of Palestinian non-compliance, the Palestinians could not. Israel’s settlement policy is, in fact, in violation of international law. But the law, in question, is an unjust law that punishes the victim while allowing the victimizer to continue its crimes. The law ought to be changed, but since Congress will not behave in a balanced manner, the Palestinians should proceed full speed ahead with their complaint to the ICC.
