John V. Whitbeck is an American international lawyer who specializes in conflict resolution, particularly as it pertains to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He was a longtime advocate of "joint undivided sovereignty" over Jerusalem by both Palestinians and Israelis. Recently, Whitbeck has called for "delegitimizing Zionism" (which he calls a "racial-supremicist, settler-colonial experiment") and rejecting the "peace process". According to Whitbeck, since 1988, his articles on behalf of Palestinian rights and Middle East peace have been published more than 650 times in more than 80 Arab, Israeli and international newspapers, magazines, journals and books.〔(World According to Whitbeck", Washington (2005), p. 1 )〕 In 1993, his "Two States, One Holy Land" framework for peace,〔(East Policy (Washington), Volume II, 1993, Number 1, pp. 63-68 )〕 first published in January 1988 by the Los Angeles Times and subsequently published more than 40 times in various lengths and languages, was the subject of a three-day conference in Cairo, attended by 24 prominent Israelis and Palestinians, including four Knesset members, under the sponsorship of the Middle East Institute (Washington), and his "condominium solution" for sharing Jerusalem in a context of peace and reconciliation.〔(East Policy (Washington), Volume III, 1994, Number 3, pp. 110-118 and Volume VII, February 2000, Number 2, pp. 130-139 )〕 has been published more than 50 times in various lengths and languages. In 2009, Whitbeck wrote that Western states should adopt a policy that he called "profoundly philo-Semitic, pro-Jewish and, yes, anti-Zionist" by encouraging Israeli Jews to "return〕 A graduate of Harvard College (1968) and Harvard Law School (1973), Whitbeck left the United States in 1976 and has since lived and practiced law in Paris, London and Jeddah.〔(World According to Whitbeck", Washington (2005), pp. 1-2 )〕 On July 23, 2001, Whitbeck was suspended from practicing law in New York state for four years for professional misconduct during his employment with Pharaoh Holdings Ltd., a company owned and controlled by Saudi businessman Ghaith Rashad Pharaon.〔http://www.lexisone.com/lx1/caselaw/freecaselaw?action=OCLGetCaseDetail&format=FULL&sourceID=bcfbd&searchTerm=edCe.gWHa.aadj.edgK&searchFlag=y&l1loc=FCLOW〕 After uncontested proceedings, a referee appointed by the Supreme Court of New York, Appellate Division (1st Department) sustained two charges that Whitbeck had engaged in conduct to "harass" an adversary and sustained one charge of "failure to comply with a ruling of a tribunal," all in violation of the New York Code of Professional Responsibility.〔 Whitbeck supports the 9/11 Truth Movement and in a blurb published in a book by David Ray Griffin, Whitbeck wrote "After reading David Ray Griffin's previous books on the subject, I was over 90% convinced that 9/11 was an inside job.
