Quote:Today, 146 of 193 UN members recognize Palestine
Oh good. Does that mean it exists now? Problem solved eh?
It means
Israel is a criminal state as long as the Palestinian state doesn't exist;
Does it exist now that they have signed a piece of paper saying that it exists? Problem solved eh?
The UNSC, as well as the UNGA, needs to recognize the Palestinian state. But the US is a bad actor in the UNSC.
So now Israel's existence is illegal because
the UN has not publicly acknowledged that Palestine exists?
(note: the UN consists of the UNGA AND the UNSC)
Yes, of course. The UNGA has overwhelmingly acknowledged the Palestinian state; the US - being a bad actor in the UNSC - is the ONLY barrier to the UN recognizing the Palestinian state.
Quote:Do you have a copy of the form that the UN needs to sign?
No, the US does.
Do you think the UN has a copy of it?
Both the UN and the US have a copy, BUT:
the US - being a bad actor in the UNSC - is the ONLY barrier to the UN recognizing the Palestinian state. So its actually America's fault, because they won't let the UN sign a piece of paper recognising that Palestine exists, which causes Israel's existence to be illegal?
Yes.
The Partition of Palestine, and the resulting two states, is UN law.
Therefore Israel's existence, in the absence of the Palestinian state, is illegal.
The US is the bad actor preventing the implementation of the said UN law.
The rest of the UNSC, and most of the UNGA, are ready to sign the law into existence.
Today.
🤪🤪🤣🤣
The Palestinians could declare a state today.
??
Illegal settlers in the WB - backed by Netanyahu's RW goons in Israel and the US - intend to make sure the Palestinian State is NOT declared by ANYONE.
Quote:But they have spent all their energies for the last 75 years on not having a state but destroying one.
The UN was responsible for creating this confict in the first place (with the botched recognition of only one of the states in the Partition Plan) ; the UN can solve this conflict today, the only barrier being the US - which is the bad actor today.
Quote:So the Palestinians simply do not have the basic ability to create and run their own country. Their wit runs only to ending and wanting to destroy an actual, existing country.
That's the narrative that bad actors in the US and Israel are pushing, namely,
we will not negotiate so long as Palestinians want sovereignty in E. Jerusalem and the right of return of refugees.All the while expanding illegal settlements.
Quote:The Gazans spent nearly 20 years building tunnels and rockets, not a functional, self-reliant municipality.
Why?
All part of resistance to the creation of Israel in Palestine, botched by the UN from the start.
Quote:Because they do NOT want a state alongside Israel. The yy want to destroy Israel FIRST and then think about such mundane things as civil administration.
Your error (confusing past and present): they certainly
did not want the creation of Israel in 1947; but now they - and the whole world except for Netanyahu and the US adminsrtration, want to settle for UN res 242.
Quote:You can't be a martyr for Allah in the cause of Islam as a municipal librarian or garbage collector.
I'm sure you can; anyone can be delusional, including RW Christian conservatives who have the US administration in their thrall.
