    There should be no illusion that a unilateral call for premature recognition of Palestine advances peace in any way whatsoever.  It fails to address the real obstacles to peace, including the Palestinian insistence on a 'right of return' which undermines the very concept of two states for two peoples, as well as the need for genuine security arrangements to prevent further mass attacks on Israeli civilians. Sending a message to Palestinians that they do not need to make hard choices for peace, and to Israelis that their concerns are of no import, only undermines the efforts of those working to bring about a real and lasting change.​
