YET ANOTHER STATE OF ISLAMIC BARARITY LIKE PAKISTAN & AFGHANISTAN? SHAME ON UNO. LET THE PALESTINIANS VANISH LIKE THE HINDU REFUGEES FROM PAKISTAN IN 1947. \\\\\\\\ A UN Resolution to Recognize a Palestinian State within “1967 Borders” Would Be Illegal The following is a letter drafted jointly by lawyers of the Legal Forum for Israel and by Amb. Alan Baker, Director of the Institute for Contemporary Affairs at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. \\\\\\\\\\\\\ The letter is directed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and signed by jurists and international lawyers from around the world. \\\\\\\\\\\\ The letter cautions the Secretary General as to the inherent illegality and harm to the UN and to the Middle East peace process which would be caused by the adoption of a resolution declaring a Palestinian state and determining its borders.

Evidently 120,000 settlers would be outside the borders of Israel (this includes Maaleh Adumin and Ariel). The settlers in them would have the “the option of relocating across the lines in pre-1967 Israel or remaining on the West Bank under sovereign Palestinian rule.” These settlements would retain “sovereign symbols”. These symbols would enable a deal to be worked out for joint sovereignty of Jeruslem.\\\\\\\\\\\ This report is very credible. Bibi talked about settlements outside Israel’s borders and creative solutions to Jerusalem. I don’t like it and believe it won’t get anywhere. Ted Belman DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 27, 2011, The White House is going full steam ahead with preparations for an early summit between US President Barack Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas for restartng the peace process, debkafile’s Washington sources report exclusively....

Even if a Palestinian state will be recognized I cannot see the world coming to remove the settlers from Judea and Samaria. The world will not be taking Jerusalem away from Israel.” “Even if they will have a total declaration of a state, which they have had since 1988, have a look at the reality – its just words,” . \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Kedar, an Orientalist, lecturer in the Hebrew department, and researcher for the Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilan University argued Israel has the ability to stop the PA in the UN. \\\\\\\\\\\\\ “Israel has the tools and ability to influence the establishment...

Turning to the United Nations is a direct dismissal of President...
