Congratulations. You figured out one of the key factors in this conflict. No one has recognized them as a state but if they got their act together and acted as one, then maybe countries will start dealing with them accordingly. But there is and has always been a power struggle within the Palestininans. The death of Arafat, although tragic to some, is a chance for a new leadership that can end this conflict. The Israelis have been willing to compromise for a decade or so already. They want peace. But there is no chance of negotiating one if the other side doesn't have a government that can control all the different factions that exists among them and cease the violence. I have yet to have heard or read about a report of Israeli troops attacking without orders. And when they do, they specificially target terrorist they deem dangerous. But when the Palestininians strike, it's usually against innocent bystanders and it's supposedly never with the blessing of Arafat. It takes two to dance and the Palestinians needs to get their act together. This one of the reasons why Bush didn't bother dealing with this issue. It was a moot point since Clinton tried it for 8 years without any success.
as to the UN resolutions ~ they're absolutely laughable. The UN is a joke. All they do is pass resolutions that don't do squat and they rarely ever enforce it.
A bunch of countries sitting around arguing left and right. worthless...
