Palestinian official Yasser Abed Rabbo says leaders hope to draw millions of people into the streets, and say the day will be the beginning of prolonged demonstrations.
He says the marches will be peaceful. But Israeli leaders fear any unrest could easily spin out of control.
With peace talks stalled, the Palestinians have decided to ask the U.N. to endorse their independence. The vote will likely be largely symbolic, but the Palestinians believe any international endorsement will isolate Israel.
Palestinian leaders approved the protest plan at a meeting in the West Bank on Monday.
Oh, please. There is no way the United Nazis (UN) will recognize a State of Paleswine (LOL) this September. It ain’t gonna happen.
Israel is not occupying its own territory.
Is the territory of Judea and Samaria, of the Torah, Jewish or Arab?
It is our territory and always has been.
Well, the Security Council (w/ the US on it) will vote against it. But I believe that Hashem will not allow this to happen. Look at what happened in Gaza, and look where Ariel Sharon is now.
The UN will scream and shout, like they always do, but it just ain’t gonna happen. Wanna bet? =)
Unfortunately I believe the palis will intentionally provoke Israel into responding with violence & then, as usual, the whole world will be in an uproar about Israel’s “use of excessive force.”
Let’s make a counter protest in front of the united nations start a Facebook page
If these clowns had jobs, they’d be too busy earning a living to march. The PA knows this full well – it keeps the West Bank poor to ensure that there will be a simmering hatred based on poverty and plenty of available bodies for the AP and Reuters cameras.
set up machine guns and mines then let them cross invading a sovereign country is an act of war let them come
