In Whose Name Are You Speaking? A Response to Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal http://www.alternativenews.org/english/index.php/topics/news/3322-in-whose-name-are-you-speaking-a-response-to-dutch-foreign-minister-uri-rosenthal

In recent weeks and months, a number of Latin American countries have publicly expressed their recognition of Palestinian statehood. Given that a Palestinian state doesn’t yet exist, this recognition also amounts to supporting the Palestinian right to statehood.Both to Israel and to defenders of its policies around the world, the “snowball effect” of nations recognizing this right is, unsurprisingly, unnerving.One such defender is the Dutch Foreign Minister, Uri Rosenthal. In an interview with the Jerusalem Post,[1] Mr. Rosenthal argues why he believes international support for a Palestinian declaration of statehood “does no good.”
