Please be aware that two states already exist in former Palestine:
1. An Arab state called Jordan that occupies 76.9% of former Palestine located east of the Jordan River
2. A Jewish state called Israel that occupies 17.1% of former Palestine located West of the Jordan River.
Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza make up the remaining 6% of former Palestine located west of the Jordan River – areas which were allocated to the Jewish people for reconstitution of the Jewish National Home by articles 6 and 25 of the 1922 League of Nations Mandate for Palestine and remain vested in the Jewish people today under article 80 of the United Nations Charter.
You have made complete fools of yourselves with today’s announcement.
Two peoples – the Jews and the Arabs – need two states in former Palestine – not three.
Your statement today contains this blatant falsehood:
“Australia was the first country to raise its hand at the United Nations in support of Resolution 181, to create the State of Israel – and a Palestinian state.”

Wrong, wrong wrong. It was an “Arab” State – not a “Palestinian” State – and was located west of the Jordan River in the area allocated to the Jewish People.
I challenge you both to correct your malicious and misleading error. It shows your complete ignorance. Have the decency to admit you have got your facts badly wrong.
