Steve Plaut's Better Idea

His suggestion is this:-

The “Palestinian” movement is nothing more than a local separatist movement, composed of Arabs seeking to gain separatist independence. Arabs already have 22 states. Since almost all countries in the world have their OWN domestic separatist movements, the only reasonable response by Israel to votes by other countries in favor of the “Palestinian” separatist movement should be met by a decision by Israel to recognize the separatist movements in THOSE countries, to grant them embassy space and official diplomatic recognition.

Here are some examples:

If France votes for a “Palestinian state,” as it is expected to do, Israel must immediately grant diplomatic status and recognition to the National Front for the Liberation of Corsica, to the separatist Savoyard League and the Nissa Rebela, to the separatist Armée Révolutionnaire Bretonne and Front de Libération de la Bretagne, and to the French Basque separatists.

If Spain votes for a “Palestinian state,” as it is expected to do, Israel must immediately grant diplomatic status and recognition to the ETA and other Basques separatists, to the Catalan separatists, as well as to the separatist movements in Castille, Leon, Andalusia, Cantabria, Galicia, Aragon, and Asturias.

If Belgium votes for a “Palestinian state,” as it is expected to do, Israel must immediately grant diplomatic status and recognition to both the Flemish and Walloon separatist movements.

...Holland...Israel must immediately grant diplomatic status and recognition to the Frisian separatist movement.

...Turkey...Israel should recognize the Armenian, Kurdish, Arab, and other ethnic nationalist movements inside Turkey. And let’s hear nothing about
Armenians already having their own state outside the Turkish borders.

...UK...Israel should then recognize the separatist movements of
Cornwall, Guernsey, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight,
Northumberland, Wessex, Yorkshire, and of course also the independence
of Wales, Scotland and Ulster.

Russia...a full list of which is much too long to reproduce here. If Italy
votes for “Palestine,” there are so many regional independence and
separatist movements inside Italy that could be recognized that space
does not allow their complete listing.

The Sami independence movements in Norway, Sweden and Finland should
be recognized at once. Ditto for the Faroes Islands independence
movement in Denmark. If Switzerland votes in favor, Israel should
recognize the Jura regional separatist movement.

The above list is just for European countries...If Argentina and or Chile votes in favor, Israel needs to recognize the Mapuche separatists in those countries. If Bolivia...Santa Cruz separatists there should be recognized. If Brazil...Israel should recognize the separatist movements in Rio Grande do Sul. Venezuela...Israel must recognize the independence of Zulia and Maracaibo. Mexico...the Zapatista movement in Chiapas needs a nice embassy in Israel.

...The number of separatist movements in other parts of the world is so
that Israel would have to build an entire new diplomatic city east of
Ariel just to house all the embassies it needs to establish for the
separatist movements in countries voting for “Palestinian statehood.”

Now, that would be such a balagan.
