The UN colonialists? Well alrighty then. Well, while you're sitting comfortably on your computer the Palestinians are still suffering, still without their own state - not due to Israel who has already proven they will sit with those trying to destroy them to make peace. No, it's due to so many telling them to just wait a little longer, suffer some more and they'll surely get what they want. They don't have a state because of their friends, not their enemies.
