""They allow through such humanitarian aid as required by International Law.""

How very strange.

Perhaps you would point us to the relevant clauses in international law which permit the banning by Israel of all the essential items on the list recently put up on this thread, which includes basic foodstuffs?

Back on topic, I don't believe for one minute that the recognition of Palestine as a Sovereign state will make the slightest difference to the arrogance and intransigence of Israel's government.

The only thing that would do that, would be loss of the support of the worlds biggest bully. the US government, and that ain't gonna happen, given that it is also the worlds largest concentration of "Pro Israel whatever it does" lobbyists.

That situation is gradually moving the Middle East region toward all out war, and if that happens, there will be damn all the West can do to stop it. The attitude displayed by some posters here (Israel can do no wrong and Palestinians are all terrorists and therefore legitimate targets) is multiplied manifold in the US, and those of that mindset cannot countenance the idea that Israel MUST moderate its attitudes.
