观察员国巴勒斯坦

Dec 3, 2012 Ian Buruma

纽约—巴勒斯坦不再是一个“实体”，而是一个国家——确切地说，是联合国非成员观察员国，和梵蒂冈一样。巴勒斯坦的议案得到了138个成员国的支持（德国、英国和其他39国投了弃权票），只有7个成员国表示反对，马绍尔群岛、帕劳和巴拿马加入了美国和以色列的反对行列，后两个国家的孤立愈加深刻了。

以色列总理内塔尼亚胡怒不可遏，他称巴勒斯坦权力机构主席阿巴斯为骗子，并批准在巴勒斯坦被占区建设3 000个新犹太新家园。他的外交部长利伯曼（Avigdor Lieberman）威胁说，如果联合国举行投票，以色列将摧毁约旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦权力机构政府。

但以色列才是现状的罪魁祸首。阿巴斯及其总理法耶兹（Salam Fayyad）比他们之前的各任巴勒斯坦领导人都更加温和，对与以色列展开严肃对话的态度也更开放。巴勒斯坦警察与以色列人展开合作阻止约旦河西岸暴力。巴勒斯坦权力机构的主要关注点是改善经济，而不是武装冲突。

The only real difference between Israel-Palesting and apartheid South Africa, and French rule in Algeria, is that in Israel-Palestine, the rulers and holders of advanced technologies are the demographic majority. For now. Recall the eventual fate of apartheid and French rule.

We also need to (re)read Isaiah Berlin's "The Fox and the Hedgehog."

Let us beat swords into ploughshares.

Actually, Palestine does not exist. In Cisjordan there are two micro entities - Gaza under the control of the terrorist group Hamas and the PA in the West Bank under the control of the terrorist group Fatah.

These two groups are usually at war with one another and have killed more "Palestinians" than Israel ever did since the creation of the Jewish State.

The U.N. vote impresses no one since its anti-Israel posture is known to one and all. In fact, U.N. being dominated by dictatorships with very few democracies as members, will be soon "deactivated" and replace by the United Democratic Nations where, for example. not a single Islamic state will be accepted - oil or no oil.

  Actually, Hamas has been democratically elected. Apparently it's all well and good for the western world to name a democratically elected group a terrorist organisation if they don't agree with the results of free and fair elections.
