talk about "recognition" but put the idea of borders on a very long and very slow walk. Israel should have been forced to go back to the 1967 borders long ago but everybody gave in to the idea of "needed for security" and "we will administer the West Bank and Gaza fairly". So now here we are 77 years down the road from when the leaders of the world said they would address displacement, compensation, right of return and they have done none of it. The promises were hollow then and although it is somewhat of a step forward for major powers to recognize a "state" of Palestine any of the meaningful issues will be slow walked and picked apart and conferences scheduled and people refusing to come and on and on like it has been.

That is why the world must impose borders whether Israel, the Palestinians, the neighboring countries etc. like it or not. This situation in the Middle East has brought the world to the point of problems of nuclear weapons and we cannot risk it escalating and that escalation will not be stopped by bombing the nuclear sites of one country while leaving in place the problems in the region created over the last more than 100 years.

The whacks in Israel running things really won't abide by any recognition of a state of Palestine anyway. They'll be angry at the countries that do but that will be about it. They may pull some diplomats and yell about trade etc. but that will be it.
