It's time for the US to STOP blocking Palestinian statehood at the UN

[The Magistrate]

3. It Might Be Better, Sir

If we did not turn this into a standard slanging match. There are people in power on both sides of this who want to kill; one side has more effective means at its disposal, but one does not get moral credit for being ill-equipped for one's chosen task. My reference was to the original intent of the world body, in 1947, thwarted in practice by actions of Arab powers as much as by Israel. That intention does, though, in my view, remain the best guideline; there ought to be a state of Arab Palestine. It should have boundaries that are recognized and fixed, and all the normal prerogatives of sovereignty, even if some of thse might be exercised in a manner some might find distasteful.
