After Tito?s dead, regions and cities in the Balkans unilaterally declared the creation of new countries. They didn?t ask their neighbors or the world about their intentions and they just went and said, we are a new country. Why Palestine cannot do the same? It seems to me that there has been too much talking about the Palestinian-Israeli problem and neither Israel nor Palestine wants to sign a peace agreement, a peace agreement of any kind. Why not go tomorrow and do the following: ? President Abbas unilaterally declares the creation of a Palestinian State with the borders as they were before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. All countries in the world, including the U.S., recognize the new Palestinian State. Today most European countries will recognize the new Palestinian State. ? Palestine officially recognizes Israel?s national status as a country. ? No more attacks on Israeli civilians or military personnel.
