LIVE BLOG: UNGA votes on Palestinian bid to become non-member observer state

good to see someone standing up to terror

His Speech at the UN makes me sick here in Ireland, What about Hamas and the other terrorist groups Aggression on Inocent Israeli people everyday of the Week,he doesn't Speak about this now! Yes everyone wants Peace,But President Abbas go sort out the Evil Terrorist groups who Target Inocent Israelis first before you go to the UN and Talk Lies about Israel and it's People,because it's these groups who are Destroying any hope of Peace!

they may be stateless, and doing their best to remain such, but this speech is comedy gold

Fajr, Scud or Katyusha ?

Israel was condemned for attacking a small entity which is not even state, and of violating Article 51 of UN charter. Now, after the voting, they'll have reason to attack and so, Britain, Ireland, Italy are gonna vote for Palestine. It's a grand propaganda perpetuating the interests of richer nations as has happened everytime in History.

so why do you expect the Palestinians to do so? Independence and freedom are not negotiable, they are basic human rights

Palestinians have the same right to have their own State too. Enough is enough!. Live and Let Live.

lower value worldwide than right now.

and Pals would have to work for a change. And hopefully, after Israeli elections with the people's mandate, Bibi will stop money transfers to PA and will turn off the electricity flow- let Pals try to be self-sustaining and stop biting the hand that feeds them..

when cash will be flowing from saudi arabia inc.

How blind can the world be?

Israel has been willing to sit with the Weat Bank Arabs to discuss the boundaries and status of the West Bank. I fully expect the boundaries will not change much from current boundaries, Some settlements within the boundaries will continue, Jerusalem will not be part of the deal and will remain Israeli although the West Bank may get some city represenation in Jerusalem. Israel will continue a military presence in the West Bank to protect the settlements and its border with Jordan.. Israel will insure the water supply. The West Bank won't get more but wants much more, hence won't sit to negotiate. The UN won't help them. I hope the US cuts off aid.

Oh wait, I think Tonga decided to abstain.

Prosor's words - exaggerated reactions - are highly educational. He belongs to the past; Dr Liel, to the future.

"south Africans will never taste freedom until Palestinians get taste freedom" Nelson Mandela

Just look at the pictures of Haniyeh & Abbas clenching hands and holding them up in the air for the cameras. One person's hand envelops and just smothers the other. Guess whose hand already foreshadows the upcoming violence? The 1967 lines is just enough for Hamas to get their foot, Kalashikov, RPG, anti-tank missile, and Fajr 5 rocket inside the more vulnerable Israel's door once they're in the West Bank in force also.

The U.S. spends billions for occupation, settlements and oppression for Israel. U.S. You are not paying financial assistance to the Palestinians. You have to pay to keep the Palestinians alive, as your ally Israel is strangling their economy.Where have the moral standards of your politicians gone. Because of your blindness, China and Russia supports Syria. We need honest brokers in this world, not corrupt partisans.

Time for the US to bow out of ME politics. They are not an honest broker and no longer even pretend to be. We can get along without you.

no mention in story of names of senators who'd cut off aid to pals, maybe even u.n. israel radio quotes one senator, orrin hatch of utah, who's a fossil anyway.

that it is helpful to the peace process to cut off funds for the Palestinians while it always considers such moves to punish Israel transgressions with a resounding " Not constructive".

Micronesia, the Marshall Islands ??? those are countries or vacation hotels ????

“The Bible says that the children of Isaac and the children of Ishmael will live together,” and Rabbi Riskin said: “The dream has got to be our living together in peace”. If so ,then let it be One State Solution with equal rights.

And the USA is learnt a lesson in humility

Shame on the USA when the whole world supports or at least doesn't oppose a Palestinian State. The USA stands in the midst of all saying we're sorry and we don't possess our own voice unless AIPAC gives permission. Why was the USA very supportive of Georgia, South Sudan and other countries? Why not this time? What happened to freedom, democracy and right to exist? Alas really

no more extorted taxpayer money for you until you agree to reject violence and negotiate a permanent settlement

If only people knew the ramifications of this vote, as far as moving towards dividing Israel and Jerusalem. Ever since the creation, opressing and persecuting the Nation of Israel has never worked out favorably for the World.
