Thread Name: Palestine (continuation)
Subject: RE: Palestine (continuation)
The survey appears to indicate that in opposing recognition of Palestine as a member state of the UN and UNESCO the Israeli government (and the USA etc) are not acting in accordance with majority Israeli opinion.

I do not agree that the survey about future statehood can be extrapolated to prior membership.

The Israeli government is answerable to its people, and will have to seek re-election by them, unlike certain other governments.
