How can palestinians be taken serious for statehood when they can not agree on a leader, and have not defined the borders of their so-called state. They must be looking to take advantage of their muslim brother Obama's support while the opportunity avails itself.

They have tried everything BUT renouncing violence and recognizing Israel! And you propose to discriminate against Jews in a Palestinian state - meanwhile the few jobs and income you generate is dependent upon your going to Israel??? Israel should immediately close all border checkpoints and allow you to take care of your own people - despite 60 years and the fact that you have done NOTHING to build an infrastructure in your regions. ROFLMAO! You have an artificially created Palestinian state - its called Jordan.Oh, the the various Islamofacists are still living in their 6th century tribal mentality rather than helping each other, aren't they? Yeah, now what else do you want?

Obama, with his disrespectful treatment of Israel, his talk of returning to 1967 borders, and his encouragment of a Palestinian state, has totally emboldened the PA and created this latest furor. Every American Jewish vote for Obama in 2012 is a missile into Israel.

Unfortunately, the only uprisings to take place amongst your people are always against Israel. So until there is a grass roots change in attitude from your people, you are stuck with your "leaders". You really have only yourselves to blame for this.

After WW1, the original agreement was to give Israel the West Side of the Jordan and the Palestinians the East Side. Unfortunately the Hashimite - usurped and the British reneged. This is only going to be settled by War. And this time Israel, act like the victors and YOU dictate the terms.

You are right. We Americans are fed up with the UN. However, we lost control of our own country a long time ago. Ob*ma is going to bring the wrath of God down on our heads because he will support the enemies of Israel every time. You Israelis are on your own (but you have God on your side).

"Palestine" was ultimately a Roman insult in renaming Judea after the Diaspora. It was never an Arab homeland.

If we fail to veto we may lose our country as the wrath of God will fall upon us, be sure of that

The Palastinians were offered a state way back when and refused it for the same reasons that Abbas advocates today...to run the Jewish people into the sea...they don't want a state...they have land and never used the money to develop the land. It's a Holy war...did you miss it, the hands of a government man.

Salma, I hope the people in your land get what they need to live happy and satisfying lives. It is such a pity your genocidal leadership refuse to realize Jewish people have been on the land longer than Islam has existed! It is the only place Jews can call home and have their religion and language. Why can't the World just realize us Jews are not filthy, domineering descendants of apes and pigs, and just recognize we're people to with a legitimate need to raise our children in the land of our ancestors. We've always just wanted peace. None of us want to fight wars with our neighbors. We don't relish harming anyone even in self-defense. It's not what we're made of and it's not what our Torah expects of us. We'd be wonderful neighbors if Jews could just be Jews without the continued assault of a world that can't even let them have a teeny tiny homeland (no bigger than New Jersey!) in a land everyone knows belongs to us both historically in the scriptures AND also through UN resolutions. To really understand the PA fiction created to harm Jews you only need to ask yourself two questions: 1. Who was the leader of Palestinians before Yasser Arafat? 2. What was the currency of Palestine? Neither has an answer because the nation did not exist. The sad truth is Arabs should be Arabs and should be embraced as such. Palestinians are being used by their leaders, rather than being supported and looked after. Go and live in Israel. Arab women have more rights in Israel than in any other nation. Sad, but true.

Interchange headline word Palestinian with Sikh, Basque, Kashubian, Sorbian, Kurd etc.... Can you imagine the havoc that this could play. "Are there any more sovereign states" ? If they approve this and try to enforce it, The U.N. should be kicked out of the USA .

Since when does the UN have this power?

No state till you act like human beings..and stop killing ..humanity demands that you take care of each other, build your own country and stop trying to build your existence off the backs of the people you kill. You rasie your young children to hate and kill...until that stops, you can never be considered to be a state, period.

carving countries into smaller countries based on questionable "rights", perhaps we should encourage the Sami people of northern Norway to claim their right to a homeland and self-determination (and all the petro reserves in the Arctic).

oh boy, just what the world needs, a new terrorist state

Yes, lets do it by all means. After all, the world really needs yet another country of backward fanatics that will be a "begger nation" from now until the end of time.

Statehood for this wretched place is an idea whose time will never come. The Arabs & Islamic fanatics just want a staging ground for their final assault on Israel. It must not be allowed to happen.

Hey Bob, The Ultimate irony would be if Israel responded to a U.N. declaration of a Palestinian state the same way the Palestinians responded in 1948! "Ultimate Irony 1948 UN unilaterally creates State of Israel over Arabs objections 2011 UN unilaterally creates State of Palestine over Israel's objection God has a sense of humor... Bob , New York (09.16.11)"

The British Mandate in Palestine gave all of trans Jordan to those people in the 194os. Simple solution Arabs go home.

A stateless state! Jordan is the Palestinian State!

Jews voted in the 80 th percentile for Obama, and his policies, his statements, and his treatment of Israel have emboldened every anti-Semite and/or moslem on the face of the planet. I don't understand the Jewish vote. It is self-destructive.

As a Christian I stand with Israel and God's word....no to Palestine and their bid for statehood. They're a terriorist organization who's only goal is to destroy Israel. Any good Palestinian people are drowned out by the majority of terrorists who run that government. Palestine is a puppet for Iran and Syria and the global elites who want Israel destroyed. God will defend Israel and HE will win as HE always does.

There is no such thing as a Palestinian. These are displaced Arabs from Jordan and Egypt and tent dwellers who happened to steal the Jews' land. The idea that this phony tribe or Arabs should have their own terrorist county is absurd. The UN is bankrupt and empty. Time to kick the UN out of America and let the Arabs host this band of users and losers.

One, just where do the so called Palestinians come from? How did they become Palestinians? Are they folks who can trace their ancestors back to their beginning? No. Not in Palestine. Interesting enough, Gaza is where the Philistines lived. Israels worst enemy.

what is the palestinian language? must have its own unique language if it was once an ancient state.

After all, he now negotiates with terrorist !

Palestinians want nothing more than to see Isrial as a nation is gone. They have used children and women to work to kill people they have broken peace plans. Can we trust these people? I just hope that Obama doesn't change plans and votes to let these people in the UN as a state.

... and certainly isn't statehood. Hint: A big stick is involved.

... right to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people is not only a historic and ethical right; it is a legal right that was established as early as 1920 by the San Remo Conference decisions that incorporated the Balfour Declaration of 1917. Then, the San Remo Conference Decisions were accepted by the League of Nations, 1922. An important element of the League of Nations Decision, 1922, is that the Jewish state would include the entire land mass between the Jordan River and the Sea. Yet, the PLO refuses to accept Israel's right to be, to exist on ANY parcel of land, anywhere!! What is the PLO's goal...?? Reading its Charter should give the serious observer an answer...!!
