I'm not sure what you mean by giving Palestinians a "free pass." He's suggesting that the U.S. shouldn't be taking one side in this dispute.
I'm referring specifically to the standing U.S. policy on this issue as laid out in the Declaration of Principles (1993) and the Interim Agreement (1995) on Palestine. Both Israel and the U.S. are signatories to those agreements.

There is only one side to take. The “Palestinians” are not a valid “side”; they are the enemy of both Israel and the US.
Neither Oslo 1 or 2 are valid thanks to the actions of the “Palestinians” to breach them, including what they did in Area C where they are supposed to have zero presence and involvement, never mind the continuous “from the River (Jordan) to the (Mediterranean) Sea” rhetoric out of the Palestinian Authority.
