Historys Credit (Again)

Reader comment on item: Declaring a Palestinian State, Yet Again

Submitted by Jay1 (United States), Aug 6, 2011 at 17:45

On another declaration of a Palestinian state, Dr Pipes' approach in this article seems to be, here we go again. Howvever this time the Palestinians are ramping up all UN recognition efforts.They have come full circle with Israel on this issue.From not recognizing Israel,to terrorism war against Israel,to not offereing anything but time table modalities to Israel(and the US proposals), to- we will declare a state in the UN on the 67 lines to Israel. So as to understand what will then happen if recognition occurs, the Palestinians will then move to,as a member, attempt to retrive the original 1947 partition plan , to having Israel sanctioned for everything under the Mediterranean sun. Dont say you werent told so.The Palestinians do not negotiate,as Israelis argue with themselves. So what should Israel do? What I mean is what should Israel do other than pray that this American President votes no when the UN recognition hands are raised at the antisemtic UN. Israel at a right moment should declare as the Palestinans, what Israels new borders are.

My take is that they should be an expanded "Clinton like plan" whereby Israel retains about 8-9% of the territories "plus" a 2- 3 mile wide strip along all of the Jordan River and Dead Sea.The Palestinians will yell you cant declare. Israel will yell back, but you just did. Both wont be officially recognized at the UN. Israel wlll totally settle their new borders with people and fences..And the Palestinians will be left with asking to reverse their own declaration. For and to Israels benefit, the Palestinians can take history's credit again.
