I just have a few words to say about the drama unfolding as
we speak at the United Nations.
President Abbas and the Palestinians will be petitioning the
United Nations to recognize them as a sovereign nation.
Everyone empathizes with them since their quest to become a
sovereign nation has been going on for many generations with no end in sight
but the blame for this stalemate cannot be just put on Israel
I hope that this dramatic move on the Palestinian’s side
will actually make something happen. I have noticed that French President
Sarkozy has actually proposed a time-table to make negotiations between Israel
What cannot happen is the granting of sovereign status by
the U.N. to the Palestinians. Why…because they are NOT a sovereign state and
they are not even close to being one and as such, the granting of their wishes
would not only be absurd but internationally illegal.
The Palestinians are not one nation, do not have one
government and do not have a unified population or a unified “land”; they are
not a nation or a state at all; granting them legal status as a nation will
cause legal chaos and will make things even worst for both sides.
The U.S.
I hope that the Palestinian plan is just a ploy to finally
get both parties to sit down and talk seriously with a definite date for an
agreement; this is long overdue and will take both parties to agree to
compromises.
