To the Editor:
An Obama administration determined to "look forward and not backwards" seems to have forgotten that the U.N. has already voted to create a Palestinian State. The partition plan adopted in 1947 created not just Israel but also a new Palestinian State and the International enclave of Jerusalem. Harry Truman was quick to put himself on the right side of history when he welcomed Israel to the community of nations. President Obama seems determined to stake his ground on the wrong side of history in vetoing the Palestinians' legitimate aspirations.
