Theatre of the Absurd: Mahmoud Abbas' Call for Palestinian Statehood at UN
Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian leader might have made a formal call for Palestinian statehood at the United Nations, and his speech might have been well received by those who were present however Israeli Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu dismissed most of his claims, and he also hinted at the ulterior motives. However, as international observers, one must understand that the conflict in Israel and Palestine is not just about the borders or the settlements, and it is not just about the occupation or the terrorist attacks. The issues are as deep and as old as Jerusalem itself.
