I agree. Palestine has been a recognisable State for most of recorded history. Why should it be wiped off the political map now?
This is a very misleading statement,
if applied to the present understanding
of Palestine, its ethnic majority, and
what is a state than it is not true.
I support palestina as a member of the UN, cause its the only way left for them...
They tryd it with war and terror... It reasonable failed
They tryd it with negotiations... Israel is clearly not mutch interrested
So ther last hope is help from the rest of the world
This denies the progress made on this issue in the last 18 years.
(Mostly due to negotiations with Israel.)
Not withstanding some spectacular yet temporary setbacks,
substantial progress as been made; taking into account
the complexities involved, the results are nothing short of miraculous.
On such a contentious, passion rasing issue,
one must guard against simplistic viewpoints.
For the record, I don't see denial of funds to UNESCO
by member states as legitimate. Seems reactionary to me.
As for the anti UN sentiment in the US, a state cannot
commit to an institution such as the UN and then
undermind it at every whim and expect credibility.
