To the Editor:
  In 1947, the UN voted to partition Palestine. That is the TwoState deal that ben-Gurion accepted, and that president Truman endorsed. No Arab had a veto; it was the national expression of a people's right to self-determination as enunciated in the UN charter.
   It is long over-due that the U.S. recognize the Palestinian state. PM Netanyahu owns no veto power over another people's national self-determination. And it would go a long way towards earning the Nobel Peace Prize on president Obama's mantel.
