The Ayes have it. Does Israel count as six?
Israel was a stupid idea from the get-go, but it exists nonetheless,
and this might just give it some legs to move on.
Most of the critics of recognition are saying it's of no practical value
since it implies no further constructive action need be taken.
But I'd beg to differ. While I think a united Israel with one person/one vote
would be a safer (and cheaper) solution there's now the question of where to
put our Embassy.. Jerusalem? Just the same, we must now contemplate
moving our Israeli embassy to Jerusalem should Israel follow suit and
recognize Palestine.
