...then the Israelis can bypass negotiations too, by annexing areas that would go to Israel in any 2 state scenario. This UN resolution pre-determines an outcome w/o negotiations....exactly what the PA/Hamas want. It's a mistake. The Israelis can play that game too.

When the Palestinians figure out they should take their own state AND genuinely recognize the Jewish state, they'll get their own state with land swaps. They'll get more if they demonstrate they're serious about peace; less, if they insist on continuing their war on the Jews.
