However, I can't speak for the U.S. but the government of Canada has a difficult time justifying recognition of an independent state whose leadership is, or actively supports, a known terrorist organization.
Also, Palestine is not at war with Israel, although their current leaders actively support unprovoked hostilities :mark: .
^^ Excellent. 100% agree ^^
All of that, I agree with very much indeed.Quote:

Further to my earlier post, I'd like to apologise for the tone of the comments.
It does , however, dishearten me to observe that at each turn there appears to be attempts to make difficult the transition from state to fully fledged country.
Rather than impeding their, legitimate, right to self governance and entry into the International community - we should be be doing everything possible to ensure a seamless transition.
Yes, things have been difficult in the past, and are still to some degree in Gaza, however sticking with the status quo mentality won't allow for progression.
It is time for a different way of thinking.
By that reasoning, not following international law means one lines oneself up with all of those individuals.Quote:
