The origin of this word lies in “Plesheth”. This is a name appearing frequently in the Bible and have started being known as “Philistine” in English."

It is strange that Lieberman &Co uses more energy on obstructing the Palestinian initiative to obtain at least a permenent observer status at the UN, rather than to invest in the peace process with the Palestinians.

Israel has no control over the ICC, and I think it's guarranteed US protection veto in the UN Security Council is also a thing of the past. Israel also is losing all of it's friends in the EU. Can you guess why? -Settlements.

01 0 0Wouldn't it be a good idea to submit similar language to September 2011draft and mention concurrent negotiations with Israel ?...
- By Smadar
- 09 Nov 2012
- 06:32AM
It's preferrable that the draft resolution to UN members to recognize Palestine as a nonmember observer state, concurrent to negotiations with neighbouring Israel, in developing a permanent and comprehensive peace settlement that resolves all outstanding core issues, namely the Palestinian refugees, Jerusalem, settlements, 1967 borders with territorial exchanges, security, water and prisoners. This implies that UN recognizes Palestine while actually negotiating the details for the two-states alongside one another, otherwise it's not an accurate resolution to mention the exact borders - it remains tenative because the actual parties have not determined the specifics do to past disruptions.

Israel in 1948 accepted borders as defined in Resolution 181. So Israels borders are known even though they pedantically dispute it. Resolution 238 and 242 makes any exchanges a matter of choice for the Palestinians as it is legally their territory. So you could argue that Palestine does not have to swap any territory and can simply demand the settlers are removed from their territory due to their illegality under International Law.
