On June 24, 2008 in his appearance before an overflow gathering at the House of Lords, Canadian MP Prof. Irwin Cotler declared that, “Had the UN Partition Resolution been accepted sixty years ago, there would have been no Arab-Israeli war - no refugees, Jewish or Arab. – and none of the pain and suffering of these last sixty years. Indeed, we would have been celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of both the State of Israel and the State of Palestine.”
