What needs to be said is that there has NEVER been a country, nation or state called palestine. Palestine is just a geographical area. A little bit of research shows that 3,000 years ago there were the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. So that establishes Israel's right to the land it occupies. Now what about the so-called palestinians? After some research, I believe I've established that they are Arabs and therefore have no claim to any Israeli land. They also tend to be muslims and terrorists. And I'm sure we all have our opinions on muslim fanatics. But that's quite recent. Only about 1,360 years. After some arab crazy decided they ought to have a cult to justify their hatred of all non-arabs. That's why most muslim prophets are Jewish prophets. He couldn't cope with making up too much history, so he just stole from proper religions. Everybody should read the Wikipedia article on “Cults”, especially the section entitled “The study of cults”. If anyone can see a difference between what is described there and Islam I'd like to hear it.

But back to the so-called palestinians. Can I suggest that their origins are the Philistines! There's the similarity of name, of course. But there's also the unremitting hatred, the self-delusion, the paranoia. All hallmarks of immature, defeated losers.

Also explains the Argentine support. Birds of a feather. Add in Argentina's love of Nazi Germany and you can see how it all comes together.

This will be nothing short of a bombshell for the UN,
I do not believe they will make a judgement,
Rather than pass the buck,
To leave things as they are, is the most acceptable for the moment,
To grant them what they want, may well blow the UN out of the water, and split it permanently, their is nothing to gain at this moment in time but bloodshed and misery,
Just an opinion, but i think the UN, will either pass it over, or use stale mate.
