The Dilemma of Palestine Statehood

Israel and Palestine are the two global politics attention grabbers. They always reciprocate stability. The latest effect is the demand of statehood ship by the Palestine authority (PA). Palestinians are demanding a recognized symbol of being called a state on the world map from United Nations. But have they analyzed the pros and cons for the same? This question applies to both Israel as well as to Palestine. Being a state does not only demand people, land and troops. Palestine is the donor dependent economy. They get a lot of their aids from America and financial and currency support from Israel. If for a second it is assumed that Palestine gets the statehood, the consequences can be inevitably devastating. The statehood ship will cut down all the aids to the territory as American vote is against the demand. Shekel will be withdrawn from the newly recognized state of Palestine. Both this major effects will wreck the Palestinian economic and stable condition. This apple cart situation of economy and stability will be wrecked due to the aids withdrawn. Since Israel and America share the camaraderie relation, the eruption in support from one of them will increase the toxicity by 100% for Palestine. On the other side, getting recognized on the world map will bring no good for the region. Problems do not end for Palestine here. The least connected arid and landlocked East Bank and Hamas ruled Gaza strip where Palestine authority is not even recognized are the biggest struggle points for the Palestine Authority. But right now flip the coin and see the other side of it, where Israel is missing the opportunity, the opportunity which provides the benefits to abate the territorial, military and geopolitical strength of Palestinian state. This Israeli objective can only be achieved by recognizing an observer state status to PA without negotiating on border issues. Palestinian grievances which grab worlds attention to Israel will be left away by granting Palestinian authority The Statehood. Israel will have a word of say in the international politics that they gave Palestinians the state they demanded. Palestinian authority has 99% muslim community and giving them the state which they are demanding will heel down the Anti Zionist anger which is taking shape in Arab nations. As cleared and admitted earlier that agreeing statehood to Palestinian Authority will do no harm to Israelis, this is a better option. Israels aim to make Palestine as much poor as possible will prove counterproductive and will hit their economy only. A starving neighbor will not be able to develop economy and hence will remain corrupt and donor dependent. Nobody wants to live next to Afghanistan is the correct phrase for the same. Accepting the United Nations vote of allowing the state for Palestinians will be a clever move with boundaries to be decided later. If it happens, it will certainly be a copy of Israeli policy of 1947 when UN resolved a border dispute which they didnt like but agreed, in the expectation that borders will be decided by the one who is stronger in future. Palestinian State is not a two party matter, it equally involves America. PA's demand for a separate state may be a mistake; in response Israeli move to reject it can be another mistake. If UN recognizes PA as a state followed by an American rejection, this will be another big mistake on their part. It will seriously hamper American plan to win over the

democratizing Arab world. Effect of this will be acid bath which will shower the drops of terrorism and will take American lives. The whole thing if fails is a strategic defeat for PA, Israel and America. It will directly hit the global peace and integration of America and Israel with Arab nation which has Anti Zionist outlook. World economy is on downturn with no sign of stability visible. In addition to it, the pain of political unrest throughout the world hampers the economic activity. The trade has shattered the walls and it is not country or region bound now. It is earth bound. This wide area of trade must be positively put to use, to maximize integrity, trade value and sustainability. A question still remains open People like Saddam Hussain or Osama Bin Laden were the real hindrance to the world or are these political instability issues the living war heads?
