Furthermore he correctly understands that Israel would never negotiate their own national suicide. However, dead-enders such as yourself are apparently content to extend the current crisis for several more generations, all in the vain hope that Israel might choose to eliminate itself, or that it might be defeated militarily. Neither is going to happen. BTW, UN Resolution 194 is a General Assembly resolution and as such it is completely non-binding and incapable of extending, determining or granting of rights. If you have a right to live within Israel is certainly must spring from elsewhere.

We, Palestinians are not waiting for miracles, but that does not mean that we should give up our rights and stop fighting for it. Only loser (like Abbas) do that and Palestinians are not losers. We have scarified a lot, but we are still ready to scarify more until we return to our homeland. I personally is a believer of: "<i>Some Palestinians are dead, some are living, but most are not yet born</i>." Practically speaking, two states solution will never work and solve the issue, however, One State solution can do miracles, although it is not a miracle. It is only a political decision by supper powers, but when did the supper powers care for what is good for people? That's why we will not give up. I might not get the chance to live this dream, my kids might, if not, their kids might, and so on... @wessam -
