Thread Name: Palestine (continuation)
Subject: RE: Palestine (continuation)
Blimey Kevin.
I was only asking for a yes or no answer.

Why Israel and US are so opposed to Palestine becoming a member of UN, I am ashamed to admit I am not sure.
If no-one else can help I will look it out.

Your list of Israeli abuses.
I think those other states are much worse offenders, and Israel would make a case for why it feels it needs to restrict some movements.

The "occupied territories" were not occupied in any imperialist invasions, but in a desperately fought battle for survival that was nearly lost.
Vast amounts of such have been handed back already.

The settlements are a big issue.
A couple of posts will not cover it.

Not ducking the question, but that is the best I can do.
Happy to discuss in more detail.
