On September 20, 2011, the Palestinian Authority will approach the United Nations General Assembly and will unilaterally insist on UN recognition of a Palestinian state.
The Jewish People and Israel The Palestinians refuse to recognize that the Jewish people have a right to their national homeland, the state of Israel.
Jerusalem The Palestinians are calling for a return to the pre-1967 borders, including East Jerusalem as the Palestinian Capital.
SECURITY Green Light to TERROR • Hamas has been classified as a terrorist organization by: • The United States • The European Union • Canada • Israel
SECURITY Green Light to TERROR Premature recognition means recognition of terrorists!
SECURITY Green Light to TERROR The reconciliation between Fatah and the terrorist organization Hamas, would mean a de-facto recognition of the brutal Hamas terrorist regime.
SECURITY Green Light to TERROR Hamas continues to call for the destruction of Israel.
REAL PEACE A Unilateral Declaration will intensify rather than end the conflict by not settling any of the key permanent status issues including: • Recognition of Israel as a Jewish state • Borders • Refugees
REAL PEACE Leaving these issues unresolved would add fuel to the already fiery conflict, rewarding unilateralism, rejectionism and terrorism.
IS IT LEGAL? A unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood undermines internationally accepted frameworks for Mid-east peace, which call for a mutually-negotiated and agreed-resolution of the conflict.
A ONE-SIDED RESOLUTION DOES NOT ADVANCE PEACE;IT MOVES PEACE BACKWARDS.
“The Palestinian Authority will never recognize Israel as the Jewish state.” SAEB EREKAT Chief Palestinian Negotiator October 13, 2010
