Not helpful. Any statehood for Palestinians by the ICC, UN or any other international entity... brush May 2024 #11

ICC is a court, UN is not an enforcement organization. Beastly Boy May 2024 #19

Whatever multi-mation entity takes on a Palestinian election, I say more power to them. brush May 2024 #23

Rushdie is as relevant to the Palestinian election, whatever form it may or may not take, as I am. Beastly Boy May 2024 #25

Hamas must be eliminated. Rushdie's words are not helpful to anyone... brush May 2024 #32
