Today's events (or more specifically the following news http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15527534) have prompted me to seek the LAB's insights.

After all 'in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people ... to assume among the powers of the earth , the seperate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them ...' (US Declaration of Independence)
When is the right time for recognition?
Who decides when it is time?
Can other people sense that something is wrong?
Of course the 'Arab-Israeli' is not straightforward but I can imagine historians writing about how the USA's foreign policy contributed to a very slow 'peace process'.
What do you think Labbers? Have I missed something?
