The 'Palestinians' 'no Israel' logo
There's no music video tonight - I'm writing this while I'm still in the conference.The logo at top left is the PLO's logo on its 'permanent observer' UN website. Note what's missing. It's all 'Palestine.' No Israel.
Absent from the logo is any hint that Palestine consists of anything other than Arab territory. No nod is given even to the U.N.’s 1948 decision to divide the region into Jewish and Arab sectors. As for the shape of Israel by the time it was forced into waging the defensive Six Day war in 1967: irrelevant. The logo illustrates that the Palestinian bid before the U.N. for support of a unilateral declaration of statehood is disingenuous and dangerous.Why let legal niceties get in the way....
There is not too much left to the imagination here: Israel is “wiped off the map.”
Lest anyone believe that the map is a temporary phenomenon, pending a successful Palestinian U.N. statehood gambit, the memo appearing on the Palestine U.N. mission website makes it clear this is not the case. The memo is a response to legal opinions advising the Palestinians that the status of the Palestinian Liberation Organization is at risk if their U.N. move succeeds. The response: The PLO will continue to be “the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people as a whole.” Along with their no-Israel emblem.

"...the Palestinian bid before the U.N. for support of a unilateral declaration of statehood is disingenuous and dangerous." --------- I think that was made clear by this statement from the PLO’s ambassador to Lebanon, Abdullah Abdullah “When we have a state accepted as a member of the United Nations, this is not the end of the conflict. This is not a solution to the conflict. This is only a new framework that will change the rules of the game.” --- I think that says it all right there.
