The Palestinians will seek full membership in the United Nations and join 22 international organizations in response to US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said in remarks at the start of a meeting with senior Palestinian leaders in Ramallah on Monday night.

Abbas elaborated on his theme from last week’s Islamic Conference Organization emergency meeting in Istanbul to the effect that Israel is unworthy of international recognition.

“There are no borders to Israel, and international law is against any recognition of it,” he said. “But they deceived the General Assembly by saying they would implement resolutions 181 and 194,” the former providing for the partition of Palestine and the latter the return of Palestinian refugees. “Until today they have not implemented them.”

Regarding the UN, Abbas said, according to Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency: “We will go once again and many times to get full membership. We are a state and an authority, and we have borders and we have the right to get the world’s recognition of us.”

The often angry remarks made no mention of abrogating the 1993 Oslo agreement, which was expected to be discussed at the meeting though not be annulled. The leadership meeting, including the PLO Executive Committee, the Fatah Central Committee, PA cabinet and security chiefs, was aimed at formulating a new strategy in light of US recognition of Jerusalem, which in the Palestinian view disqualifies the US from a mediating role in ending the conflict...

No such thing as a Palestinian people. 250,000 Arabs living in a barren desert does not constitute a nation.

That’s all that was living in Palestine for 500 years. As soon as the Zionist settlers started building, farming, and modernizing, Muslim immigrants swarmed into Palestine to seek a better way of life.

By the time Israel was established, 80% of non Jews living in Palestine were foreigners, who moved their within the previous 70 years.

No borders for Israel? Does that mean that all of the land around her are hers for the taking? No? Those countries have borders, and their borders ar3 recognized by the international community? Then Israel DOES have borders! Abbas is an idiot.

Sounds like Abbas has crotch rot.

Or a herpes flair up.

In actuality, Israel’s borders have been designed by kings, emperors, countries and poentates. The only One who’s design matters is G-d’s.
