That seems to me to solve a couple of problems. The palastienians will 
have a country and Isreal can have a country to declare war on. Then 
they can defeat them in war and annex what ever land they need to assure 
their own defense.  That is one of the problems they have had since  
1968  they have not had a country to bargain with.    It should help 
them as they will have someone to negotiate with. I have to wonder whose 
side the United Nations is on??  Do they have a right to make decisions 
for a Soverign Nation. That is scary stuff as it smacks of World 
Government. I don't understand where they got the right to create 
Soverign Nations and then give them a seat in the body that created 
them. In Our government the making of a state requires both bodies and 
the President. In the UN they vote and ipso facto it's done. They have 
no president with a constitutional power and they have no opposing body 
that represents the people they have only members that represents 
Governments. Supposedly when they were formed there was no president 
because that would allow them to pass laws. Without that Hierarchy they 
were only supposed to pass resolutions that were not binding. They have 
come a long way.                    Doug
