32. "Palestinians" no nation by any definition.

33. Calm Down!
Isaac Storm   (09.08.11)
So far all that has happened is that an old woman gave a letter to the UN office. The PLO came out and said that only the PLO, not the PA, can go for statehood. No one knows if the PA is going for an upgrade or statehood. They may be afraid that Congress will cut off their funds; furthermore, the EU is going to bail out Italy and after that will be short on money. Wait and see what happens.

36. #21 yes, but Obama let the genie out of the bottle
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (09.09.11)
For the past 3 years Obama encouraged the Palestinians through his demands on Israel to freeze housing construction and to retreat to the 1967 lines - and by fomenting revolutions in the neighboring countries of Egypt and Syria. Obama let the Pal state "genie" out of the bottle - and now (to help him retain Jewish voters/donors for 2012) he is trying to come off like Israel's savior with these last minute promises to use the US veto at the Security Council. Thanks to his anti-Israel policies, the General Assembly will vote in favor of the Palestinians. Then, the entire Muslim world will be on fire, pushing to make it a reality.
37. That would be Your Choice David @1
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (09.09.11)
It is certain that if that is your choice, the US will go along as it did with Gaza. The resulting aftermath would be your choice too. Anarchy, Iran funding, IDF call up to run everything as in the 60s-98. Those are your options. And you can pay for all of them, just as the US did in Iraq. The choice would be entirely yours.
38. #35 All just a bunch of noise
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.09.11)
The GA can't create a new state, the UN Charter doesn't provide for it “The General Assembly does not have the authority to create binding law by a simple vote. It is not a global legislature, just as the UN is not a world government. Its resolutions are symbolic. Never mind the fact that the UN charter never gives the General Assembly such authority” The General Assembly does not have the authority to create binding law by a simple vote. It is not a global legislature, just as the UN is not a world government. Its resolutions are symbolic. Never mind the fact that the UN charter never gives the General Assembly such authority. Just think about it: Does anybody believe that in creating the UN, sovereign states like the U.S. and the Soviet Union handed over their own sovereign authority to a body in which tyrannical regimes and democratic ones, friends and allies, get an equal vote? That if, one day, the General Assembly decides to grant independence to Quebec, or Minnesota, or the Confederacy, that suddenly it will be binding on all member states, including Canada and the U.S.?
39. #7 Ender from Van
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (09.09.11)
Of course Kurds voted for AKP. AKP has jailed all the military brass who used to fight the PKK. AKP is slowly but surely creating the foundation of dividing Turkey into a Turkish state in teh west and Kurdish in the east. After all PKK and their spiritual leader in Pennsylvania Fethullah Glen and his guide Said -i Nursi are all Kurt.
