Seeking UN Recognition for Palestine Statehood with Victor Kattan

As the Palestinian leadership weighs its options at the United Nations in September, we asked Victor Kattan about what the Palestinians are doing, how Israel's seeking to block their efforts and what the possibilities are. He spoke from London, UK.

Victor Kattan is the author of From Coexistence to Conquest: International Law and the Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 1891-1949 (London: Pluto Books, 2009) and The Palestine Question in International Law (London: British Institute of International and Comparative Law, 2008). Victor was a Teaching Fellow at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London from 2008-2011 where he is presently completing his PhD. Previously Victor worked for the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (2006-2008), Arab Media Watch (2004-2006), and the BADIL Resource Centre for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights as a UNDP TOKTEN consultant (2003-2004).

Israel belongs to the Jews. And who are the they? Those who obey God, & bring before Him the prescribed sacrifices of lambs, goats, doves & heifers. And Why these? because they all represent persecuted creatures; victims of powerful predators. It means God is always on the side of the persecuted. If the Israelis are persecuted, then the land belongs to them; but, if the Palestinians are persecuted, then the land is theirs, as written in the Torah:"..the meek will inherit the land"(Psalm 37:29)
