"statehood in principle" WTF does that mean?? You agree with the idea in general, although you might not support it in reality. LOL

The same as it means for every other state. A state is a principle and has no reality save for that recognized by it's people. The USA is an example of a state in principle.

UN Push For Palestinian Statehood Blocked

A UN Security Council resolution calling for Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian territories fails to win enough votes.

Who the hell wants to create another terrorist nation in the world..

And yet if Britain wanted to leave the EUSSR to reclaim its statehood those very same MEPs who voted for Paleosimian statehood would be up in arms.

So the EU has not offered up any land in Europe for this new state?

ha. That never stopped them from drawing arbitrary borders all over the world which others had/have to live with. The modern middle east is a good example of that.
