Anybody in the Mood for Another Islamic Country? Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Arab leader who giggled his way through the solemn anti-terror rally in Paris, is ready to try the UN again. He wants recognition of “Palestine” as an independent state (which it never was). Should he get the required votes this time around (plus surmounting the other legal hoops) that would up the number of Islamic countries to 58. That would also make it the 23rd Arab state. Upon his most recent try, the Arab statehood measure fell short by one or two votes. Can’t remember exactly, but this I do remember: The French voted in favor. True, this was before the bloodbath in Paris. This was before President Francois Hollande got his wake-up call. But did he wake up? Did anybody wake up? Some people, maybe. But still, from progressives in Israel and from Liberals outside Israel, nothing has changed. Israel, they say, must give in. Israel must cut itself in half and consent to a two-state solution – to make Hamas happy and to make Fatah happy and to make Hezbollah happy. That is only a partial list of all the people who would be happy. We aren’t even mentioning the UN, the EU (France included) and the US State Department who will be dancing in the streets. More than that, if Israel gives in (and cuts its own throat) finally there will be peace on earth. Ask Jimmy Carter. Ask Tzipi Livni. israelnationalnews/Articles/Article.aspx/16310
