The argument that the palestinians must resume negotiations before getting statehood is specious .

认为巴勒斯坦在取得国家地位之前必须恢复谈判的观点是似是而非的。

Instead he spoke of a fight against " political provocations which have only one aim : to destroy russian statehood and usurp power . "

相反他宣称“要和旨在毁灭俄罗斯国家地位并企图篡夺国家权力的政治煽动进行斗争。”

Having consolidated enormous power in his hands , mr putin can afford some charitable and nostalgic words about the 1990s , incorporating that era into the history of building russian statehood .

手握巨大的权利，普京能够对1990年代说些仁慈和怀旧的话，并把那个时代归并到建设俄罗斯国家地位的历史中来。

Why it was a bad call : arafat , seen as the father of the palestinian struggle for statehood by his supporters and an unrepentant terrorist by his detractors , has a controversial legacy .

名不符实的原因：被他的支持者和顽固反对者视为巴勒斯坦国家地位斗争之父的阿拉法特遗留的问题颇具争议。

But provided that the palestinian request at the un , still unfiled as the economist went to press , does not undermine the basic terms of this deal , it is hard to see why any peacemaker , including america 's barack obama , should oppose a proposal that nudges palestine closer to real statehood ( see article ) .

但倘若巴勒斯坦在联合国的申请（当《经济学人》付印时其仍未正式提交）没有破坏上述共识的基本条款，那就难于理解为何所有的调解者，包括美国的奥巴马，都要反对一个推动巴勒斯坦实现真正国家地位的提案了。
