-- Palestine a nation to the world except for Israel?
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »
To be honest I didn't see Palestine there, I must have missed it. I think its good that they are there but find it a bit odd still since are they really a country in terms of what we normally define a country as at the moment? Are they a member of the U.N? I thought declaring Palestine as a country was in the process and would take a few years to complete.

Evil IOC oppressing the poor Texan nation

The construction of the security barrier, in conjunction with Sharon's plan to withdraw from Gaza, has provoked near panic by Arafat. There is fear on the other side of the border that Sharon will impose what is, essentially, a two-state solution. Palestinian leaders, including Yasser Arafat, have denounced the plan to "unilaterally" bestow the autonomy that they have long demanded, but repeatedly rejected.
In recent weeks, open warfare has broken out among and between Palestinian factions. Police station have been attacked and burned. Government buildings have been taken over, officials and commentators attacked and kidnapped -- all contributing to a larger, public disillusionment with the Palestinian leadership.
While Arab hardliners accuse Israelis of everything from using the blood of murdered Christian children in Passover matzah to plotting the removal of all non-Jews from both Israel and the Palestinian territories, Israel's Supreme Court has ordered portions of the barrier moved, at the cost of tens of millions of dollars, to lessen Palestinian hardships. The irony is that Sharon's strategy, to withdraw and cede to the Palestinians full control of their own country, may be the most ruthless thing Israelis are capable of doing to their sworn enemies.
Though critics among Sharon's own countrymen are angry that he would disengage from Gaza without reciprocal concessions, he clearly believes the benefits of such a move outweigh the costs and risks.
Some of those benefits fall into the category of public relations. With no Israeli presence to blame for the many Palestinian problems, including their dismal corruption-plagued economy, the current Palestinian leadership will find it more difficult to evade responsibility for conditions in their territories.
Arafat is in total panic over this. He needs a conflict with Israel to divert attention to his corruption and theft of billions in aid. How else is Arafat going to explain why he stole 5 billion from his people.

Mohammad Dahlan in an interview with the Kuwaiti daily al-Watan (1 August 2004) said that Arafat is sitting on "the bodies of the Palestinians and on "their ruins." He also revealed that five billion dollars in financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority over the last number of years has vanished, and that he has no idea what happened to the money.
Dahlan doens't know what happened to the 5 billion.
Try looking in Arafat's Swiss Bank account.

I was really happy to see them walking and participating despite the factt that zionists have tried to not give them their country! |
So, you truly believe that something recognized by the Olympics is the way that it is or should be recognized by the rest of the world?
Not everyone agrees with China that Taiwan is a "rogue province." But yet, there it was. Taiwan was called Chinese Taipei at the insistence of the Chinese.

| Originally posted by Belzebutt Not to mention Sharon will never let them have a real country with real borders, a real army, and real sovereignty. He would consider that to be too much of a threat to Israel. |
I think it was amazing that Palestine and Iraq and Afghanistan got standing Ovations.

The condition is that they would have to be "protected" by Israel. ![]() (Not to mention that Palestine would never in a million years be able to afford an army more than 1/100th the size of the IDF) |

| Originally posted by taltul u r complitely wrong - thats the point that if pals will get an country-status + army - we will stop to think twice before attackin them after they will try to suicide themselves for just 1 time... i mean we will be able to attack as long as we need as an answer to their terror-acts if they will happen again of coz - and in that case they already will not be able to cry to their friends in Europe or arab countries coz israel and them will be in the equal position... also now we r kinda responsibale for their future and think of leavin withh them in peace in contrast when if they'll become a country we will be able to "wipe" them just coz of one "stupid mistake" like terror acts or smth like that...and they will be no more excuses for their actions... |
