Hymie Rubenstein writes, "This gratuitous move is best seen as a transparent political ploy to gain support from Canadians hostile to the existence of Israel."
Canada won’t recognize Taiwan if you look on their Canada site Taiwan’s capital is called Taipei, China yet Canada recognizes Palestine- what bloody hypocrisy is this? What dark forces are at play?
I am ashamed of the liberal government and their ideological motives.
I'm a huge fan of Hymie's writings. But on this topic I think his personal attachment obscures common sense.
The attributes for statehood are nicely enunciated... but cannot be expected to be deliverable immediately in respect of a people and region oppressed with violence for decades. We can walk around the block on this topic, but is impossible to defend Israel's violence towards Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank over decades. (A Catholic Church in the West Bank was bombed by Israel for God's sake!)
Secondly, references to the Bible or ancient history to find support for the establishment of a geopolitical entity in the 'modern' era is beyond irrelevant.
The two state solution is the only one that has a hope of quelling continuous violence.
Are you for real. That two state thing has been offer how many times and that wasn't good enough for the so called Palestinians. The kept firing rockets at the people of Israel, Have you forgotten the attack on Israel killing 1200 and two and fifty kidnapped. And still are holding several. Those people, if can call them people, are nothing but warring killers, out for blood.
Logan, you have made my point. These two sides can go back and forth for decades as to who did what to whom. You've heard of the Stern Gang murders in the 1930s? And... Yes 1200 being killed/murdered is horrific... so is 50,000.
The point is that the Two State Solution has bever been tried. Every Arab state around Israel has professed hate at one time since 1948. Now most have a cordial relationship. Not impossible for Palestine then either.
Why do say the two system, when you know it's been tried since 1948. And has not yet worked. So obviously it won't work. The only solution is clean out the hamas and or the houthis. And that is what Israel is trying to do. The IDF should keep going until they are gone, and their tunnels all filled in.
Logan... it has not been tried. My point is that now is the time for it to work. Other Arab states have recognized Israel. So the climate is now ripe for the TSS. The alternative is a recipe for disaster.
Really? The UN created and certified the recognition of a new, independent State, called Palestine, consisting of such and such lands? Is that your understanding of history Logan?
I'll let you catch up. There yet...?
So... no, two independent states, (Israel and Palestine) recognized as independent by the UN, has not occurred. Yet.

This is the best explanation I have ever read. And it makes sense!

It has so, since 1948, three or four times. Where are you getting you information from Algeris news.

So... let's give it try.
