""The United Nations exists as an organisation to promote peace, understanding and reconciliation amongst its members. Israel and the Arabs of Palestine must bi-laterally reach an accommodation that guarantees peace, understanding and reconciliation BEFORE Palestine can become a full member.""

Maybe, just maybe, the UN will achieve by talking to the new Palestinian STATE, what the IDF have FAILED to achieve by bombing it back to the Stone Age, starving it of essential supplies with a coastal blockade and annexing huge tracts of its territory.

None of which indicates ANY desire to talk peace to the Palestinians.

What you really advocate is an abject and unconditional surrender to IDF aggression and occupation.

THAT IS NOT PEACE!
