Well, I'm a little confused about this for or against? Are we to side for or against Palestinian statehood or for or against the Obama administrations reaction to the possibility?

Anywho, if Rice's comments are the opinion of the administration (and not just taken out of context, or she misspoke, etc) that's very interesting... it sounds like they are setting the stage to blame anyone else but themselves no matter what happens in September.

As for the statehood vote... I still don't understand how both Gaza and the West Bank can be recognized as a sovereign nation when the two are being governed by completely different authorities?

Yes, I agree...it was confusing. And just as I boarded a plane and couldn't fix it until now. I just clarified it now...if you posted without this clarification, please post on the side you feel is appropriate for your argument and report the other one as spam. I will delete it for you.

Cool, I'll stick with this side... it's probably time to just move this thing forward already... besides, I don't think anything is really going to change anyway, statehood or not.

I'm against the hatred of Palestine. It's time we stopped helping Israel. They are monsters and they continually disgrace the poor souls involved in the holocaust by committing immoral actions onto Palestine.

I'm supporting this because I'm hoping to keep this civil? We'll see how that goes...

Anyway, You say that Israel is the monster? Is that your perspective?

Absolutely. They have committed some serious atrocities against Palestine that go far beyond self-defense, such as killing innocents.

I guess I'm not against it, but can someone explain me more about this subject in a message, please?

I'm too lazy to read the whole thing but I just want to post....so if the U.S.'s reaction is morally wrong, I'm against.

How interesting, if the Obama Administration doesn't allow Palestine to be recognized... it's still, somehow, the Republicans' fault.

The UN is a joke. To suggest that we shouldn't allow a country to be come a part of the UN is really just showing how serious these people take the UN... this is unfortunate. Let Palestine think they have a voice. Stop treating the UN like it's a real, driving force in International Affairs (unless you mean the driving force of UN aid-workers' dicks into non-consenting women and children in Africa... zing).

The Libya incident did initially show some good signs that the UN was actually uniting and doing something, but that has decayed since then.

I would also like to point out that I posted on this side when it just said "against". I assumed it meant "against the US reaction".
