But at least they didn't recognize Palestine as a state.

The media seem to want to make it appear as if the U.S. has lost major mojo over this.  ???

Didn't the UN decide that there was to be a Jewish and an Arab state back in 1947  ???

A Palestinian state means that the Hamas rockets emanating from Palestine should be legally considered a full-on act of war, giving Israel a corresponding basis for retaliation. All to the good.

That should be a very lively prize-claiming seminar, including more than just timeshare sales presentations.

Can't take it anymore. It's "Palestine," with two e's.

This has been a message from the American Spelling Nazi Council. Thank you.

A young boy in Sunday School was asked to name the birthplace of Jesus. He guessed Athens and then Carthage. When told the answer was Palestine, he replied, “Well, I knew it was somewhere in East Texas.”   :rofl:

(it's pronounced "PAL-a-steen" there)

So it's to be a bifurcated "state" -- they get both the west bank AND the Gaza strip?

And they're already proclaiming that Jerusalem is their capital.

This is not going to end well.

Perhaps cleaved is a more apt term here than bifurcated.  As if by a battle axe.
