Brilliant, although that Israeli tweet is ominous. 9 countries that voted against: Canada Czech Republic Israel Marshall Islands Micronesia Nauru Palau Panama United States Overwhelming support for the Israelis there. Also nice to see we didn't fully lick some good ol US rear this time.
Let's pretend for a moment, that I care nothing for international politics and have no idea what possible difference this will make... ...can anyone help me understand?
If they're now an officially recognised state, would that make it easier for Israel, America and us to declare war on them?
In practical terms I don't think that declaration would make the slight bit of difference to the current situation.
What is the "historic Palestinian" lands? From my understanding, it's never been a country, at least not in 1,000 years. Seems like the Palestinians have been passed from pillar to post, doggy styled as some might say.
The Romans re-named Israel as Syria Palestina in 135 AD in an effort to erase Jewish ties to the land. There has never been a sovereign, independent Arab state in Palestine in history.
Amusing perhaps but accurate certainly. It is an historical fact that Israel was re-named Syria Palestina in 135 AD by the Romans, no matter how much you try to label me a racist fascist.
If you're unclear what impact all this will have, perhaps this link will help: http://laymansguidetomideastpolitics.com/
Panama's great - votes with US on this on against all its neighbours, supports UK on Falklands against all its neighbours -God alone knows what it's going to want in return.
