	State of Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The State of Palestine is not recognized by the United Nations, although the European Union, as well as most member states, maintain diplomatic ties with the Palestinian Authority, established under the Oslo Accords (Leila Shahid, envoy of the PLO to France since 1984, was named in November 2005 representant of the PNA for Europe).
		The PLO envisages the establishment of a State of Palestine to include all or part of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem (the Palestinian territories), living in peace with Israel under a democratically elected and sovereign government.

	The Creation of the State of Palestine:
		From this perspective, the often stated proposition that the absence of clearly delimited boundaries is not a prerequisite to statehood is axiomatic.
		At present Palestine has been recognized as a state by over 100 states, but it does not yet command anything like the level of quasi-unanimous support as such which would be required to establish a particular rule of international law to the effect that Palestine is a state.
		Palestine involves the converse problem, that of an entity which is not sufficiently effective to be regarded as independent in fact, but which is thought entitled to be a state.

		The state of Palestine shall strive to apply the legitimate right of return of the Palestinian refugees to their homes, and to obtain compensation, through negotiations, political, and legal channels in accordance with the 1948 United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194 and the principles of international law.
		The treaties and agreements that burden the state treasury with expenses unaccounted for in the budget or burden the citizens with commitments in violation of the current laws may not be enforced unless and until the House of Representatives ratifies it, and approval by the president.
		Impeachment of the president of the state with high treason, breach of the Constitution or of committing a felony shall be according to a suggestion by one-third of the total members of the House of Representatives.

		Furthermore, on 15 December 1988, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 43/177, essentially recognising the new state of Palestine and according it observer-state status throughout the UNO.The resolution was adopted by a vote of 104 in favour.
		Palestine involves the converse problem, that of an entity which is not sufficiently effective to be regarded as independent in fact, but which is thought entitled to be a state, [36] if not in the nearest future.
		It's often stated that the absence of clearly delimited boundaries is not a prerequisite to statehood is axiomatic.

	Agreement BETWEEN the ARAB STATE and PALESTINE; 1919
		Article I The Arab State and Palestine in all their relations and undertakings shall be controlled by the most cordial goodwill and understanding, and to this end Arab and Jewish duly accredited agents shall be established and maintained in the respective territories.
		Palestine is a historical region of southwest Asia at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea and roughly coextensive with modern Israel and the West Bank.
		Palestine is the Holy Land of Jews, having been promised to them by God; of Christians because it was the scene of Jesus' life; and of Muslims because they consider Islam to be the heir of Judaism and Christianity and because Jerusalem is the site, according to Muslim tradition, of Muhammad's ascent to heaven.

	Higher Education, Civil Society, and the State in Palestine, Christa Bruhn
		The term 'state' refers to the modern notion of the 'nation-state' and constitutes the bureaucratic entity that governs under the symbol of its flag and in the name of its national narrative.
		Certainly the state of Israel is 'the state' given its international recognition and its power to collect taxes, police and defend borders, control natural resources, administer education, perpetuate language, history, and a vision of the future, define who is normal and who is 'other,' and so on.
		The state of Israel actually claims it took care of this aspect of the resolution when it withdrew from the Sinai peninsula and now refers to the West Bank and Gaza as 'disputed territories.' Reference to "territories occupied in the recent conflict" excludes any illegal confiscation of lands in 1948.

	Lausanne Conference Considers One Democratic State in Palestine/Israel
		The necessity of demilitarizing the future state, establishing its constitution and fixed borders, and ensuring that it redress the violated rights of its Arab citizens also were identified as key to gaining recognition and acceptance as a new, peaceful entity in the Middle East.
		The Initiative for One Democratic State in Palestine/Israel aims to remedy the tragic consequences of the forced partition of the territory in 1948 that led to dispossession, further occupation and chronic conflict beyond the region.
		The Initiative for One Democratic State in Palestine/Israel aims to change the political organization of the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean, basing this on full sovereignty and equality for all the inhabitants and also for the Palestinian refugees since 1948 and their heirs.

	The Prophesied State of Palestine
		This State of Philistia (or, in modern terms, Palestine) will no doubt occupy in its final development the very region in the Land of Canaan where their ancestors always lived from before the time of Abraham (long before the Israelites came into Canaan at the period of the Exodus under Joshua).
		As I have stated for the past 27 years, it is entirely possible that the ten nations of Psalm 83 are the same as those referred to in Daniel and Revelation.
		It means that the State of Palestine (from a purely biblical point of view) should possess some kind of sovereignty over the southwest area of the Land of Canaan (from the coast to the foothills) from the Wadi Sorek and southward to the border of Egypt.

	Palestine - The Peace Encyclopedia
		Palestine was never an exclusively Arab country, although Arabic gradually became the language of most the population after the Muslim invasions of the seventh century.
		The meaning of this message is clear: Palestine is a country that belonged to the Palestinians until it was invaded and usurped by the Jews.
		Palestine also witnessed, as a land bridge linking Asia, Africa, and Europe, several movements and waves of conquerors who dominated it for different periods of time and left behind varying degrees of influence.

	Algiers Declaration of a Palestinian State, 1988
		On November 15, 1988, a Palestinian state was proclaimed by Yasser Arafat at a meeting of the Palestine National Council in Algiers.
		This was the second declaration of such a state, the first being at a meeting in Gaza in October 1, 1948 during Israel's War of Independence.
		The Palestine National Council based the Algiers declaration of Palestinian statehood on UN Resolution 181, the 1947 Partition Plan which divided Mandate Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.

	The Creation of the State of Palestine
		This last commitment indicates quite clearly that the state of Palestine would be prepared to forswear any type of security treaty arrangements with the Soviet Union along the lines of the one currently in existence between Syria and the U.S.S.R. This is clearly intended to be a confidence building measure for the benefit of Israel.
		Seventh, in the Political Communiqué the PNC "once again states its rejection of terrorism in all its forms, including state terrorism..." In this regard, on 6 December 1988 Yasir Arafat stated that he renounced all forms of terrorism and was ready to start negotiations that would eventually lead to peace in the Middle East.
		The long-standing hope of the United States government and the Israeli government that there could be found quislings among the people living in occupied Palestine who could negotiate a so-called peace settlement with Israel that would allow for the outright return of this territory to Jordanian rule has now been effectively repudiated by America.

	The One-State Solution: Palestine-Israel : SF Indymedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The challenge for the one-state solution is to find a political path through the transition from rival ethno-nationalisms to a democratic secular formula which would preserve Israel's role as a Jewish haven while dismantling the apartheid-like privileges that presently assign second-class citizenship to non-Jews.
		In a one-state solution, the entire apparatus of the PLO and the PA would have to be subsumed into Israel's domestic governance and party-political processes.
		The larger and longer-range impact of the one-state solution could transform regional tensions as well as local ones, by eliminating the military occupation, unifying the territory, and effectively restoring the Palestinians to (shared) sovereignty in their historical homeland.

	Hamas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hamas' charter (written in 1988 and still in effect) calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and its replacement with a Palestinian Islamic state in the area that is now Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.
		In a 2002 report, Human Rights Watch stated that Hamas' leaders "should be held accountable for the war crimes and crimes against humanity" that have been committed by its members.

	israelinsider: Views: The future state of Palestine
		As the politicians discuss a potential state that they presume would live in peace with Israel, they conveniently avoid examination of the positions and dispositions of the people that would comprise that state.
		If a Palestinian state would be established in the near future, there is a likelihood that it would become a Hamas state in short order.
		Unlike the participants in similar elections at United States universities, those taking part in this election are closely aligned to the major political factions in the "West Bank." Thus, results of this election are highly representative of the degree of popular support for those groups.

		Nowhere does the film mention of the 56 casualties in Jenin, 48 were armed terrorists (official Palestine Authority figures) and that 23 Israeli boys died in house to house fighting to decrease the civilian casualties that would not have resulted if one F-16 was used for the same job.
		And the students at Fresno State who don’t get the facts are the ones who are cheated out of a truly balanced education when such trumped-up events are allowed on their campus.
