Obama: US doesn't consider Palestine a sovereign state

The United States believes that Palestine is not a sovereign state yet and therefore cannot become a member of the International Criminal Court.

US President Barack Obama confirmed this position in telephone talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House press service reported on Monday.

American officials said earlier that Palestine's joining the International Criminal Court will lead to further escalation of the situation in the Middle East, because this step will allow Palestinians to bring accusations in war crimes against Israelis. However, Palestine is expected to become a full-fledged member of this organization on April 1, 2015. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has recently confirmed this.

The UN Security Council earlier rejected a draft resolution planning terms for establishing a Palestinian state. The United States, which enjoys the veto right, voted against it. Eight countries, including Russia, China and Jordan backed the draft resolution. Australia also voted against the act. Other five states, including Britain, Lithuania, Nigeria, South Korea and Ruanda abstained.

Palestine/Israel conflict can be resolve very easily. All Palestine have to do is stop the terrorists terrorizing Israel. Palestine for all intended purposes is a self govern State. Palestine government and outside forces do not want the conflict to end.

Not gonna happen, even new borns are brainwashed from the time they are able to barely stand straight on their own to hate Israel and its people. Not to mention the undeterred moral support from rest of ummah around the world.

Thousands of recruits as young as 15 learned how to kidnap soldiers, use weapons, and infiltrate into Israel though tunnels at a Hamas paramilitary training camp in Gaza.

On Thursday, some 15,000 Gazan teenagers and young men graduated from the week-long training camps, called the "Pioneers of Liberation."

The 15-21-year-olds underwent military training for the armed wing of Hamas, Izaddin al-Qassam, six months after Hamas and other Gaza terror groups fought a 50-day war against Israel.

Drills included weapons training and exercises simulating kidnapping IDF soldiers and infiltration into Israel through tunnels. Portraits of Israeli leaders were used in target practice for sniper training.

"We are participating in the camp so that we will know how to fight the Zionist enemy and regain our ancestral home of Palestine," one teenager said, in footage from the training camps screened on Israel's Channel 2 TV on Thursday night.

Whole world crazy about the tiny strip of land. Palestine issue is just overhyped and Palestinian Arabs have far better quality of life compared to people living Asia, Africa and Latin America.
