Palestine

International recognition of a Palestinian state rewards Israel, which should be thanking each and every country doing so, since such recognition serves as a misleading alternative to what must actually be done – imposing sanctions.

Recognizing a Palestinian state, which does not and will not exist in the near future, if ever, is shameful silence. People are being starved in Gaza, and Europe's reaction is to recognize a Palestinian state. Will this save starving Gazans? Israel can ignore these declarations with the U.S.' support.

There's talk of a diplomatic "tsunami" in Israel, in the knowledge that it won't reach Israel's shores, as long as recognition isn't accompanied by the imposition of a price tag for genocide.
