| 'Declare independent Palestinian state' | ||

| [Iran Press TV] A senior Paleostinian politician has called for an immediate declaration of an independent Paleostinian state in response to failed talks with Israel. Why not? Biafra did it.
The Paleostinian National Initiative leader described the US-backed direct negotiations as "meaningless and damaging" given Israel's continued settlement construction in the occupied West Bank. He said the declaration would call on "all states, governments and international institutions to recognize the Paleostinian state and its borders immediately," and would call on the United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society General Assembly to issue recognition of the state based on the UN-drawn borders of 4 June 1967. The document would also urge the General Assembly to demand that the Israeli regime end the occupation of its land, borders, airspace, and water resources and remove all illegal settlements from Paleostinian territories. Barghouthi further called for "punitive action against Israel should it continue its occupation of the Paleostinian state," following the declaration of the state. The politician noted that only an international recognition of a Paleostinian state and its borders will give Paleostinians an equal footing for negotiations. Barghouthi said the present negotiations are happening between "totally inequitable parties where Israel is effectively allowed a dominant veto power on all issues, including the agenda and terms of reference, as well as total impunity to violate international law and so many UN resolutions." "If the international community rejects this option, it will be the death of the two-state solution and Paleostinians will be left to struggle against apartheid in one state," he warned. | ||

| #4 Once they declare themselves a state, soon as they commit their terrorist act/act of war, move in, conquer them and them pay a dhimmi tax in accordance with islamic law and right of conquest. Just mirror their laws and replace muslim with Jew. |

| #3 I call for Barghouthi to immediately stop breathing until further resolution is passed allowing it. |

| #2 I suspect they'll be eligible for boatloads of UN money once they are a state. I can't see any other upside really, considering they can't truly police their own territory and do not have an independent economy. |

| #1 And once they're a state, a terror attack is a declaration of war. |
