A Palestinian statehood resolution failed in the UN Security Council with the US voting correctly while the French voted yes and the timid Brits abstained.
If the Palestinians want a state of their own, they can turn away from terrorism and violence and negotiate in good faith with the Israelis. They should not be granted by the UN what they refuse to negotiate for.
This no doubt will cause much gnashing of teeth in the halls of US academia.
Rather sad that the UN doesn't stand by and honor its own resolutions. The State of Israel was authorized by a resolution that divided the British Mandate of Palestine into two portions, a Jewish state and an Arab state. Both should exist, and the UN should sustain the entirety of its own resolution.
ReplyDeleteYou forget that when the UN proposed a two state solution in 1948, Israelis said yes, and the Arab world said no and went to war.
ReplyDeleteThe French have a problem with Islamization in France. Yet, they support nonsense about a Palestinian statehood, without any land. Of course, the UN functions as effectively as a eunuch in harem.
ReplyDeleteGlobal Warming anyone?
Happy New Year everyone!

Can't blame the Arabs for going to war.
ReplyDeleteIf someone tried to take my land, I would do the same.
"Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English and France to the French".

"Gandhi's area of expertise was s Africa And India not the Middle East."
ReplyDeleteActually, just like South Africa and India, Palestine and other parts of the Middle East (Jordan, Iraq) were under British control.
Gandhi was very well aware of the Jews, and their evil intentions for the Holy Land.
@Anonymus,
ReplyDeleteI Know it is an inconvenient truth that the Jews were in Isreal far ahead of Mohammad and Islam or before the Arabs that claim "Palistine" as their own. The term Palestine is Roman, as they changed the name of Judia to that name to punish the Jews for trying to over through the Romans in the area.
I visited Rome this year and visited the Arch of Titus, which bares the image of the Jewish manora from the sacking of the Temple on the Temple Mount, over 2000 years ago. This fact shows that Isreal existed far before the birth of Mohammad and the creation of Islam. So much for Palestine belonging to Palistinians.

Squid,
ReplyDeleteThey also think southern Spain (Andalusia) rightfully belongs to them because they conquered it centuries ago and were subsequently driven out. Once Muslims set foot somewhere, they consider it theirs for all time.
