Indeed they could. If they do and Israel, as would be expected, refuses to allow them in, it is extremely likely that the U.N. would DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND!!!!!

Israel is actually in danger of being blindsided by two new threats.
The first is the real and growing possibility that the United Nations will shift the nuclear spotlight away from Iran and on to Israel in an effort to force Jerusalem to disclose and dismantle its alleged nuclear weapons and join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Israel does not openly acknowledge having atomic weapons. But the U.N. Security Council could pass a resolution forcing Israel to allow international inspectors in.
If Israel refused to comply, she could be subject to diplomatic isolation, crippling economic sanctions, and even international enforcement (that is, a coalition of nations ready to go to war over the issue, just as the U.S. led a coalition in 2003 to force Iraq to comply with U.N. resolutions regarding weapons of mass destruction.) ...
WSJ columnist Bret Stephens has a must-read column in today’s paper explaining how this scenario could come to pass in the not-too-distant future. President Obama is making global nuclear disarmament his top foreign policy priority. He chaired a U.N. Security Council meeting last week to push this agenda. It is increasingly conceivable he will try to force Israel to “play by the same rules” as everyone else and disarm unilaterally, even though Israel has never threatened to “annihilate” a neighbor.
...
The second threat is the real and growing possibility the world will unilaterally create and recognize a Palestinian State, not through negotiations with Israel but by fiat. World leaders have been trying to engineer a “comprehensive” final peace agreement for decades. The Palestinians rejected a generous final peace offer by then-Israeli PM Ehud Barak in 2000 at Camp David (too generous, in my view). Then, Yasser Arafat unleashed the “Second Intifada” and a horrific wave of suicide bombings throughout Israel. The Palestinians then rejected repeated peace offers by then-Israeli PM Ehud Olmert (also too generous). Then, Hamas fired thousands of rockets and mortars at southern Israel until Operation Cast Lead crushed most of Hamas activities in January 2009.
Rather than be impatient with the Palestinian leadership, however, for consistently rejecting sweeping Israeli peace proposals, the world increasingly wants to force Israel to make deeper and deeper concessions. With his Cairo and U.N. General Assembly speeches, President Obama has taken the lead on this effort. He is demanding Israel return to its pre-1967 borders, divide Jerusalem and allow Palestinians to have a state with contiguous borders (thus cutting Israel proper in two).
Now come a growing number of signs world leaders are preparing to impose a final solution to the Israeli-Palestinian impasse, perhaps based on Palestinian Prime Minister Fayyad’s new two-year plan to create a viable Palestinian state. ...
EXCERPTED
'While it is too early to conclude that is what is happening now, it is not too early to intensify our prayers for the peace of Jerusalem, according to Psalm 122:6.'
Ping.
PING.
1.Osama Hussein 0bama and his thugs; and
2. The American Jews who put in in power.
Psalm 122
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
2 Our feet are standing
in your gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built like a city
that is closely compacted together.
4 That is where the tribes go up,
the tribes of the LORD,
to praise the name of the LORD
according to the statute given to Israel.
5 There the thrones for judgment stand,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be secure.
7 May there be peace within your walls
and security within your citadels.”
8 For the sake of my brothers and friends,
I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek your prosperity.
I like Joel. He travels a lot in that part of the world and knows his Bible. And he knows Netanyahu too. He used to do media relations for him.
I would call both threats a growing probability, vs. possibility. Israel had better act accordingly....I wonder what they’ve been waiting on? Approval from the international community? Good thing they’re not holding their breaths.
Indeed they could. If they do and Israel, as would be expected, refuses to allow them in, it is extremely likely that the U.N. would DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND!!!!!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces. For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, “May peace be within you.” For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity. Psalm 122:6-9
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember you, let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Psalm 137:5, 6
If I were Israel, the UN and their pansy sanctions would be the last thing on my mind. Besides, most of the security council would not go along.
Thank 78% of American (liberal) Jews who voted for Hussein and 50+% of phony abortion loving Kennedy Catholics.
Final solution the sequel!
I really don’t think Israel would be “blindsided? by such an eventuality. Israel is surely way ahead of any foreign commentators in planning for even this exigency.
It would give O’Bama the excuse to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan in favor of invading and occupying Israel for “defying” UN resolutions.
Well if it comes to that .. Israel should “ Use ‘em or lose ‘em”... before being over run , sling them all at their Arab neighbors, even up all old business.....

FReegards,
So it has been written...
I’m not sure. Yes, the UN could move against Israel’s nukes and impose sanctions, but would the sanctions matter? I’m not sure that any important member nations would bother to follow any such thing.
A forced Pali state... would be rejected first and foremost by the Palestinians themselves. The Palestinian state they want *is* Israel. I don’t think a separate state would change anything from what we have now.
