Following in Brazil’s footsteps from last Friday, Argentina announced on Monday it recognized a “free and independent” Palestinian state, sparking an immediate condemnation from Israel.
Argentina’s President Cristina Kirchner told Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in a letter that her country recognized a Palestine defined by 1967 borders, Argentine officials said.
The Argentine Foreign Ministry said in an e-mailed statement that the move was designed to help “definitively advance the negotiation process that will lead to the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.”
Uruguay announced soon afterward that it would recognize a Palestinian state next year. “Uruguay will surely follow the same path as Argentina in 2011,” Deputy Foreign Minister Roberto Conde told AFP.
Israel expressed “regret and disappointment” on Monday night at Argentina’s decision to join Brazil in recognizing an independent Palestinian state.
“Recognition of a Palestinian state is a violation of the interim agreement signed by Israel and the Palestinian Authority in 1995, which established that the status of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip will be discussed and solved through negotiations,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The statement said that recognition of a Palestinian state also contradicted the road map.
“All attempts to bypass negotiations and to unilaterally determine issues in dispute will only harm the trust of the sides and their commitment to agreed upon frameworks for negotiations,” the statement read.
The American Jewish Committee called the recognition of an independent Palestinian state by Brazil and Argentina both worrisome and counterproductive.

No surprise, Brazil and Argentina are where all the Nazis went after World War II.
In this wacky world, once the pal is and Israelis go to war....again, these countries will send troops to help the palis.
Then Venezuela will take over south America.
Doesn’t Argentina have one of the largest Jewish populations in the world?
Gee maybe they can work out a trade deal.
South America can trade petroleum products, agricultural products and cars to the “Palestinians” for unguided missiles, suicide bomb belts and hate lessons.
Well, we recognized Jordan AKA TransJordan AKA the Palestinian State a long time ago. Of course, there really is no such creature as a Palestinian.
Ah, the Palestinians don’t have a state, dudes.
Well, if one believes the “Palestinians”, they have a state wherever they happen to be squatting right now, or anyplace any of their suspected/purported ancestors ever even thought about visiting. So, the Palestinian state is all of South America. See how Brazil et al like that.

Never mind the outrage. Never mind the condemnations. Who’s going to be ambassadors to Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina? Will they have one from Ghaza and one from Judah & Shomron, and locate both embassies far enough away that there’ll be no danger of the two diplomats getting into knife fights with each other? Or will they have only one, and then have the other faction bomb its own embassy for having the wrong ambassador?
Also, where will the Brazillian, Uruguayan and Argentinian ambassadors have their respective missions? In Ghaza, Ramallah, or both? I will watch these developments and bring plenty of popcorn.
Stupidity, the South American way.
Just mix right in to matters on ocean away.
Take your stand. You’ll never have to pay,
We’re doing calypso diplomassay.

If they demand it, they must be right. Right? That’s how the Left thinks.
In the name of “diversity,” terrorist propagandists are active in institutions of higher learning all over the U.S. , as students and teachers. Revisionism 101 cuts across the curriculum.

From “Good Morning, Vietnam”:
“Great Britain recognized the island state of Singapore. How do you recognize an island? Do you go, “exc— Hey, wait. No, don’t tell me. Wait, wait. Didn’t we meet last year at the Feinman bar mitzvah? You look a lot like Hawaii. Didn’t we meet last year at the Peninsula Club? No.”
Third largest Jewish population in the world actually. It has declined since it’s peak since the 70s, with many Argie Jews now living in South Florida or Israel.
