Al Jazeera: Cal Perry- 'Opinion Divided Over Palestinian Statehood Bid'

Source:Al Jazeera- the United Nations (or World Debating Society) discussing Palestine.

"Al Jazeera (Arabic: الجزيرة‎, romanized: al-jazīrah, IPA: [æl (d)ʒæˈziːrɐ], literally "The Island", though referring to the Arabian Peninsula in context)[3] is a free-to-air international Arabic news channel based in Doha, Qatar that is operated by the media conglomerate Al Jazeera Media Network. The channel is a flagship of the media conglomerate and hence, is the only single offering to carry the name as simply "Al Jazeera" in its branding.

The channel's willingness to broadcast no holds barred views, for example on call-in shows, created controversies in the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. One of the station's office was the only channel to cover the War in Afghanistan live."

"The Palestinian Authority says it will seek recognition for a fully-fledged Palestinian state from the UN Security Council. 

But not everyone's on board. The EU is still undecided on its position. Israel and the US are against the move.

Al Jazeera's Cal Perry reports from Jerusalem."

The Israeli-Palestinian area is an area thats basically divided into two different ethnic groups, as well as religions, that may never be able function as one country together. Which is why Palestine has basically become an independent territory of Israel. Similar to how Puerto Rico is a territory of America, where a significant number of Puerto Ricans a lot of them decedents from Spain consider Puerto Rico a country, a lot of Palestinians consider Palestine a country. Even though it';s not currently, but moving in that direction hopefully for them as well as Israel as far as I'm concern. 

It's in Israel's interest as former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Israel Shimone Peres once said. That Israel a tiny country (about the size of Delaware physically) and with a population of only 7M people, less than New York City (and Israel is a country) that Palestine become completely independent of Israel. And for them to govern their own affairs, but of course under certain conditions. So Israel wouldn't have any need to occupy another country and could just worry about the affairs of Israel and not the aide of another country as well. But only under certain conditions. 

Palestine would first have a peace treaty similar to what Israel has with Egypt. 

That Palestine would crackdown on terrorists in Palestine and Israel does the same thing in Israel. Terrorists that represent threats to both countries and that both countries aren't a threat to each other. 

And the have diplomatic and trade relations with each other as well. 

That neither country sponsors terrorists and they work together to defeat terrorism, that they become partners in the War on Terror. That they both recognize the right for the other to exist as well. 

Palestine at this point is not ready to become an independent country: they don't have the ability to defend themselves and meet these conditions. They don't have the military or law enforcement capabilities to do these things. And they don't have a national government thats responsible for governing the whole country.
