Ecuador recognizes independent Palestinian state

Good for Ecuador! Hopefully, Paraguay and Uruguay will follow soon.

Wow-- if important world powers such as Paraguay and uruguay follow-- then maybe even other important countries like Fiji-- and Andorra-- and Borneo will also join in. And of course both Hamas and the Netanyahu government will listen-- and change their policies for these important world powers!

That will really make a big difference in the middle eastern situation-- surely it would result in a true and lasting Israel/Palestine peace-- and an end to war in Iraq and Afghanistan!

Funny thing about major fires . . . they all started with insignificant sparks. Great movements began with a single seemingly insignificant idea. I'm perfectly aware of Israel's indifference to all voices but its own, especially insignificant voices like Ecuador. However, at some point, even insignificant voices may be hard to ignore when they are part of a growing chorus. So go ahead and laugh. The French aristocracy ended up laughing their heads off when they ignored the insignificant rabble in the streets.

The guilty zionists occupiers of Palestine have not much left in morality except careless LOL's on everything that proves their guilt like the Nero of rome.

Those cliches sound good-- but the reality is-- no matter how many countries do it-- that's not what standng in the way.

For starters-- how will recognition by many more countries solve the rift between the Pa and Hamas_- they hate each other!

*Palestinian victims of Hamas swear revenge

"SHADI Bakr Ahmad gingerly eased his legless torso into two new plastic limbs and vowed they would one day walk him back to his brutal destiny in Gaza. The Fatah man and his 14 comrades in rehabilitation have barely six legs left between them, after being mutilated by their Hamas rivals during the violent takeover of power last June.

All have unfinished business: they want to get back on their makeshift feet soon to hunt down the men who maimed them

Mnay "sparks" of recognition by tiny third world countries won't overcome that!

(Unless, of course, we create 2 states-- perhaps a "Hamastan" in Gaza...and a moderate "Palestine in the West Bank"???)

The pressure is mounting on Israel every day from the world to change its stance of forcibly continuing to displace people of Palestine from their lands to build illegal settlements. he state of Palestine has been recognized as pre-1967 borders.

Is that clear now. If not then you are most surely in delusion and denial.

Peressure-- from who?

Ecuador? Uruguay?

Not from the U.S.-- Obama has softened his stance re Israeli settlements.
