Subject: RE: Palestine (continuation)
Remember how you and Kevin decided Israel was wrong to oppose membership without even finding out their reasons?
Prejudice.


Since most countries see Palestinian statehood as right and proper, the onus for coming up with reasons why they are allwrong rests with those who oppose membership. In the absence of such reason to oppose statehood would appear to involve prejudice.

The only reason you have indicated for opposing statehood appears to be that the Israel government is opposed to it. That's not in itself a reason.
