Come on Nadine. Thats precisely what the Pals are trying to do by destroying Israel. If they succeed should we reward them? On the contrary, building a state is the opposite of what the Pals are trying to do - they are trying to destroy a state, not build one. If they had concerned themselves with building, they would have had a state long since. You have to prove to the world that you have a viable enterprise going - that is, unless you have the debatable good fortune of having Jews for your enemies, in which case the whole world just gives you welfare. It doesn't work that way for other people. Ask the Kurds. By that metric, the West should have supported the rascist southern African states. Do you really believe that? By that metric, the West did support them, inasmuch as they were recognized as viable enterprises & legitimate states. It doesn't mean that you have to give carte blanche approval to everything they do, or that other political factors can't come into play. It's just the basic minimum threshold for nation-statehood in this world - again, the Palestinians get a pass, sort of.
