Then Israel should “recognize” every wannabe independent nation group anywhere, in any Euro nation.

Scotland?
Basque?
Corsica?
Northern Italy?

Who wants to be a nation today?

Tweaking a nation that has people who can kill you in your sleep is not a good idea.

There are no such people as Palestinians. They’re Arabs from Jordan and surrounding areas.

Europe's foreign ministers have threatened to recognise an independent Palestinian state to punish Israeli refusal to halt "illegal" Jewish settlements.

Which will extend from Naples in the south to Oslo in the north and Budapest in the east to London in the west.

“Who wants to be a nation today?”

Not the Palestinians, a state anyhow. It’s one reason why they do not declare independence, they will no longer be “stateless”, meaning no more refugee benefits. Almost 50% of them are on the dole, though a lot of those are dummy humans.

Obama blew it by being one-sided against the Israelis, he should have seemed like he was asking for something from both sides. Thought he would be a Chicago tough guy, but every nation in the world it seems has said “no” to him.

You can almost always count on Europeans to figure out some new anti-semitic deal. But let's see how they like some turnaround ~ like tell the EU that we'll no longer deal with France, but rather with its constituent parts ~ Normandy, Brittany, Provence, Alsace, Lorraine, Gascony, etc.

Germany might be even more entertaining ~ then there's Poland. They've gotta' get this straight ~ Stalin may have moved their country Westward and there may be treaties guaranteeing their integrity, but I think we could handle dealing with up to 5 different Polish states ~ kind of like differentiating between Chicago and Milwaukee, but it could be done.

Personally, I have this problem with King Arthur's deal where he gave away the family farm to the Saxons ~ definitely a problem!

Just for fun.

They already gotta one - The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Used to be called Transjordan - when Palestine was partitioned, like part for the Jews, part for the Palestinians.

I’ve never understood why the UN wants to reward the Arabs for getting their asses kicked. Multiple times.

“There are no such people as Palestinians. They’re Arabs from Jordan and surrounding areas.”

afredd. and once they are recognized as a state, ant attack on israel is an act of war and the un is required to support the attacked state or aqt least remain neutral. so-called palis are the most worthless creatures on the planet.

Question is: what part of Israel do they want to carve out? Gaza? The West Bank? I think Israel will no put up with having another Arab state on their border.
