.All this does is demonstrate that to whatever extent the PLO had previously cooperated in the 'off again, on again" peace efforts that have occurred over the years...it was completely insincere.
What is fascinating is that the Palestinians are doing this DESPITE the fact that the Saudis and Egyptians are pressuring them to make Ramallah rather than Jerusalem their Capital and to compromise on the border issue but just MAKE PEACE!!!

This has been in the news ever since Trump declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel. So far, it just looks like a threat.
Been the capital of Israel since the late Bronze Age been the capital of an Arab country called Palestine since about 30 years or less.This has been in the news ever since Trump declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel. So far, it just looks like a threat.
Of COURSE they aren't interested in a two state solution. They never have been.
The title of this thread gives the impression that Palestine has changed its position of one that is positive towards the state of Israel to a more recent change of attitude that is negative towards Israel. Nothing can be further from the truth. They have always had a negative attitude towards the state of Israel's existence.Been the capital of Israel since the late Bronze Age been the capital of an Arab country called Palestine since about 30 years or less.
Palestinians never wanted peace with anyone and occupied Lebanon and nearly destroyed it all in their quest to form yet another failed Arab state in the Middle East and only Israel answered the cries of Christians being slaughtered in the South of Lebanon which earned them my undying respect. May peace happen between the best countries of the Middle East, Lebanon and Israel.The title of this thread gives the impression that Palestine has changed its position of one that is positive towards the state of Israel to a more recent change of attitude that is negative towards Israel.

There is no country of Palestine. There has never been a country called Palestine. There is a territory called Palestine. It has existed since Judea was overthrown by the Romans and renamed. It has systematically been occupied by various different nations, such as the Ottoman Empire, the English, the Israelis... But it has never been its own country, and so never had a capital city.Been the capital of Israel since the late Bronze Age been the capital of an Arab country called Palestine since about 30 years or less.
The name Palestinian itself means invader since it comes from the Hebrew word of Philistine used to denote the ancient enemies of the Jews who came from the Aegean Islands. The British even used the term Palestinian to denote all inhabitants of the land even Jews and Samartians it only became a figure head for Arab nationalism recently.There is no country of Palestine.
