UN performed rites of mourning ... for lack of a Palestinian state after 60 years ...
UN marks two-state anniversary by ceremony slamming Israel | Published by UN Watch - at November 30, 2007 in Middle East.
Sixty years ago today, on November 29, 1947, the United Nations voted to create two states, one Arab and one Jewish, out of the former British mandate of Palestine. The world body played an integral role in fashioning the original two-state solution that the international community so desperately seeks today. However, not only did the UN today choose not to celebrate this proud moment, but it actually performed rites of mourning — dutifully organizing annual ceremonies around the globe, as called for under Arab-sponsored resolutions, that somberly commemorated “Palestinian Solidarity Day,” featuring carefully screened speakers who repeatedly slammed Israel.
In Geneva, for example, the UN’s “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People” saw the UN European Headquarters play host to about 150 people. Following is a brief summary of how co-existence and peace was promoted today at the UN. ...

will be first to come out against [Israel], because they will say they cannot support a state that does not support democracy and equal voting rights
Thursday, November 29, 2007 | Look who is "anti-Israel"? |
Who said the following:
"If the day comes when the two-state solution collapses, and [Israel] face[s] a South African-style struggle for equal voting rights (also for the Palestinians in the territories), then, as soon as that happens, the State of Israel is finished.
The Jewish organizations, which were [Israel's] power base in America, will be the first to come out against [Israel], because they will say they cannot support a state that does not support democracy and equal voting rights for all its residents."
Jimmy Carter?
John Mearsheimer?
Tony Judt?
Some "left-wing" Israeli?

Ehud Olmert warns that the world could impose a "South African solution" on Israel if two states are not created ...
Saturday, December 01, 2007 | CAN ISRAELI APARTHEID BE HALTED? | A halt, not a suspension | By HaAretz Editorial
When Ehud Olmert warns that the world could impose a "South African solution" on Israel if two states are not created, side by side, he is tacitly admitting that expansion of the settlements is making Israel look increasingly like an apartheid regime.
The agreement to withdraw, or to make "painful concessions," as it is sanctimoniously called, is therefore less painful than any other alternative. The only question is whether another Yitzhak Rabin can be found, who is capable of really halting, not just suspending, the construction of settlements, to leave the Palestinians some territory in which to establish Palestine. ...
...
Some 10,000 babies are born in the settlements every year. Israel has no moral or other obligation to make sure they have housing in the West Bank. In April 2004 the government promised the Americans that there would be no more construction "beyond the outside line" of each settlement. That outside line has never been set. Annapolis will not lead Israel to any solution with the Palestinians unless Israel stops cheating and learns to restrain its expansion eastward. ...
