How a just peace in Palestine-Israel can save our planet

The planet we call home is in trouble. Human survival depends on strong and determined global action by governments across the world. States act according to international law and work within world governing structures. Both of these have been lamed, almost mortally wounded by 70 years of Israel’s intransigence and impunity toward Palestinians and the illegal occupation of their land.

The only way to save human life on the planet is to rescue international law and global governance from near irrelevance. The best place to begin is a true and just peace in Israel-Palestine. Insisting on applying international law and an end to coddling and protecting Israel’s actions in world forums will bring back leadership and... moral authority to set a new agenda for the planet.

Robert Massoud is Palestinian-Canadian. In 2004, he founded Zatoun to import fair trade olive oil from Palestine to serve as a symbol of light, hope and peace while supporting Palestinian farmers in their livelihood. In 2010, he founded Beit Zatoun as a open, public meeting space bringing together Toronto’s diverse communities to speak and share their issues, histories and struggles for liberation, human rights, and social justice.
