Cunning Zionist French Foreign Minister, Bernard Kouchner, Suggests Declaring a Palestinian State Without Borders

Editor's Note:

The cunning Zionist French foreign minister, Bernard Kouchner, has suggested that Palestinians should declare their state, even without recognizing its borders. Thus doing, he is expressing the dream of Zionists in Israel and the US-EU, in that the Palestinians tell the world that the brutal Israeli occupation and subjugation has ended.

However, having not recognized borders, the Palestinian state will be as if does not exist in reality. This will be an ideal situation for Israelis allowing them to continue their raids on Palestinian areas, killing innocent people, injuring and kidnapping them, and destroying their property.

Moreover, this means that the final-status issues of refugees, Jerusalem, illegal Israeli settlements, and the Israeli theft of Palestinian water resources will continue without resolution.

It's so sad that the French people are so much neutralized that their government has become under control of Zionists who do not even hide their loyalty to the Zionist state, not to the country they are supposed to represent.

French FM sees 'Palestinian state without borders'

Washington – Ma’an –

France's Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said the recognition of a Palestinian state even before its borders are demarcated is a possibility, Agence France-Presse reported.

Kouchner said economic and institutional development in the West Bank constitutes "the building of a reality" that includes the creation of a state.

"France is training Palestinian police, businesses are being created in the West Bank ... It follows that one can envision the proclamation soon of a Palestinian state, and its immediate recognition by the international community, even before negotiating its borders," Kouchner told the French Journal du Dimanche, according to AFP, which will be published Sunday.

The comments dovetail with Palestinian caretaker Prime Minister Salam Fayyad’s government plan to build the infrastructure and trappings of a state by 2011.

According to AFP, Kouchner's comments come ahead of a visit to Paris by President Mahmoud Abbas next week. Abbas is due to meet with Kouchner in Paris on 21 February and with President Nicolas Sarkozy the following day, a senior Palestinian official told AFP this week, on condition of anonymity.
