[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not anytime soon.

Too many Palestinians want vengeance rather than peace, and too many right wing Israelis have a manifest destiny view of the land.

We’ll see what happens after Hamas gets defeated and Bibi gets voted out of office, but I’m not hopeful.

There is no such thing as a Palestinian.  [/quote]

The UN and at least 138 member states beg to differ …

The State of Palestine has been accepted as an observer state of the United Nations General Assembly in November 2012. As of 31 July 2019, 138 of the 193 United Nations (UN) member states have recognized the State of Palestine (Israel is recognized by 165).

The State of Palestine had been officially proclaimed by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 15 November 1988, claiming sovereignty over the internationally recognized Palestinian territories: the West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. By the end of 1988, the proclaimed Palestinian state was recognized by 78 countries.

In 2011, the State of Palestine was admitted into UNESCO; in 2012, after it was accepted as an observer state of the United Nations General Assembly with the votes of 138 member states of the United Nations, the Palestinian National Authority started officially using the name "State of Palestine" for all purposes.

Among the G20, nine countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Turkey) have recognized Palestine as a state (Indonesia and Saudi Arabia only recognize Palestine) while ten countries (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States) have not. Although these countries generally support some form of two-state solution to the conflict, they take the position that their recognition of a Palestinian state is conditioned to direct negotiations between Israel and the PNA.[/quote]
