The Palestinian Authority's bid for UN recognition as a non-member observer state could lead to a new intifada or the PA's collapse, Israeli diplomats are warning countries worldwide as part of an intensive diplomatic campaign against the move.

These leaders were democratically elected. Do you even know what that means? Just because Israel does not like the results does not make it any less valid. You have closed the borders several times with Gaza, kept tax money that legally belongs to the West Bank, allow your settlers to steal water and uproot Palestinians livelihood, and still they keep making 'unilateral' moves. Time to wake up and smell the roses...the Palestinians are not going anywhere but their homeland.

Netanyahu and Likud have always taken the position of no statehood, never for Palestinians. What Netanyahu wants to talk about is anybody's guess. But it will never be statehood for Palestinians. Netanyahu is BSing when he says he wants talks. So saying "No, Never" at the US is just consistency.

(1) Do you really think that the world will just sit idly by if Israel tries to evict millions of Palestinians from the West Bank? (2) Do you think that Israel would be able to go ahead with this "transfer" regardless of universal opposition - even its key ally, the US, would not find it acceptable? (3) Millions of people being forced to leave their homes and communities - do you think they would just leave quietly? (4) Millions of people being forced to leave at gunpoint, surrounded by soliders, with packed suitcases. Remind you of anything?

in the same way that my parents were not from Israel, but if you're now saying that YOU represent the Palestinian people then I'll rightfully claim that we, as Jews are descendants of Israel and therefore have the same rights as YOU to be there. Jews do not originate from Brooklyn, the UK or anywhere other than Israel, so deal with it. And by the way I see nothing wrong with the Abbas initiative since up til now Israel has not listened. As for the Right of Return, it is and always will be a non starter.
