Is Recognizing a Palestinian State A Good Thing?



In my personal opinion, Neil Steinberg is a great columnist.  Today, he writes an interesting piece on the Israeli/Palestinian issue. It is important to point out that Neil is not only a liberal but also Jewish. (In case you didn't already know.)  It is also important to note that I am not taking sides on the issue.

However, in writing this column, has he inadvertently reached past his own inherent bias and made an excellent point about the Palestinian application to be recognized as a sovereign state before the United Nations?  By his logic, if being recognized by the United Nations as a sovereign state means anything, then the Palestinian State would have to recognize the Israeli state right?  Is he then in favor of a Palestinian State?
