Thanks so much for all the lovely, insightful, helpful and huggy comments on my last post. I was NOT expecting anything like so many or such lovely ones, which just goes to show that I should not underestimate my flist. ♥ In a swift move from gratitude to RAGEFACE, a little rant...
Fingers crossed for the Palestinian vote today. I am going to be sending some angry letters if Cameron abstains. It would be bloody ridiculous to give in to American pressure here, particularly there aren’t any British votes in saying No Palestine Doesn’t Deserve To Have Its Statehood Recognised What Are You On About.
I just... argh. As ever you are welcome to both discuss and debate with me in the comments and anon commenting is on, but I have so far found the arguments in favour of rejecting Palestine’s UN application for statehood to be factually incorrect/ambivalent (they want violence! Violence will inevitably be sparked!), idiotic/in bad faith (peace will come from negotiation not acting alone! Right, because statehood isn’t a necessary step in the process at all. Netanyahu, this should not be a barrier to negotiation), or ( morally repugnant. )
