À propos de cet audio
The General Assembly of the UN meets this week and will take up the issue of Palestinian Statehood.
It’s a bad idea.
The UN Charter states that “Membership in the UN is open to all other peace-loving states.” The cause for Palestinian statehood is not one of peace, but violence—current polling of the local population there showing far more support for Hamas than the current PLO leadership in the West Bank, whose President was elected to one four-year term, twenty years ago. Some democracy!
Our world is surfeited quite enough with rogue regimes. The idea that an institution dedicated to peace and human rights would create yet another Libya, Yemen, or Syria is madness that will lead to more of what the Palestinian cause has given the world without the force and power of legitimacy: hijackings, assassinations, and massacres of the innocent. Legitimizing and empowering that will only guarantee more of it.
Middle East peace may be elusive, Palestinian statehood would render it impossible.
