Prof. Efraim Inbar on Palestinian statehood

Aug 30, 2011

AIJAC guest Professor Efraim Inbar from Bar-Ilan University is in today’s Australian on the Palestinian bid for statehood at the United Nations.

He notes:

Unfortunately, General Assembly resolutions cannot fix a Palestinian national movement that is hopelessly fractured and dysfunctional.

The UN cannot turn the Palestinian factions into one political entity. Can the UN bring Gaza and the West Bank together to present reasonable interlocutors for Israeli negotiators? Can it mellow Hamas’s lust to kill Jews and to eradicate Israel? Can it eradicate the “shaheed” death culture?

Is the UN in a position to infuse pragmatism into Palestinian political culture?
