General Assembly accords Palestine non-member observer State status at UN

Of course I congratulate the Palestinians from the heart for any victory as their cause is completely just. 

 But the equivalent here is if a foreign entity that wasn't even a country, say for instance (a fictional example), all Americans living in Siberia approached the European Nations of 1900 and promised them a lot of monetary support in their (again this a fictional example) war against Russia if they would only promise them land in Africa. Time comes and the Europeans, with American monetary help, overcome the Russians. The war was Europe's fault in the first place. To reward the Americans in Siberia, Europe promises them that in several decades they will collect on the African land. To help things along the Americans provoke another war between Europe and Russia from both sides with the help of a dictator in Russia who was in fact quite demonically insane. After the dust and blood settles down, the Americans who have already begun infiltrating Africa start killing the European peacekeeping troops there and finally the United Nations formed a scant six years before hands over land in Africa the Europeans had occupied without any lawful right in the second war which the Americans had provoked. At first it was only a small percentage of land occupied by the Americans and then the real bloodletting started by the American troops when the United Nations told them it was theirs. Over 65 years the Africans were reduced to living in only the Ruwenzori Forest and three small coastal states on the West coast of Africa. The Americans during this time were constantly complaining that everyone and every thing was persecuting them when in fact it was the Americans that were committing genocide. Finally the United Nations grants a status of non voting state to the Africans on the little piece of ground that remains of what had once not long before been entirely theirs and - you guessed it - the Americans scream bloody murder because the Africans are being given anything at all.

 Now the reality, take that fictional example and substitute the below entities and nations and you get the real history of the utter and complete genocide that has been brutally thrust upon the Palestinian people and the pillage of their land with all accompanying murder of the innocent Palestinians living there.

 Americans in Siberia = Jews and especially Jewish Banking houses in Germany and England and the United States.

 Siberia = Western Pale of Settlement in Russia and adjacent lands and Germany and Britain and the United States.

 European nations = Britain

 Russia = Germany and central Europe

 dictator in Russia who was in fact quite demonically insane  = Hitler in Germany

 Africa = Palestine

 Africans = Palestinians

 United Nations = United Nations

(Two wars = World War One and World War Two)

General Assembly grants Palestine non-member observer State status at UN

29 November 2012 – The General Assembly today voted to grant Palestine non-member observer State status at the United Nations, while expressing the urgent need for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians leading to a permanent two-State solution.
The resolution on the status of Palestine in the UN was adopted by a vote of 138 in favour to nine against with 41 abstentions by the 193-member Assembly.
“We did not come here seeking to delegitimize a State established years ago, and that is Israel; rather we came to affirm the legitimacy of the State that must now achieve its independence, and that is Palestine,” the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, told the Assembly before the vote.
Mr. Abbas noted that the world was being asked today to undertake a significant step in the process of rectifying the “unprecedented historical injustice” inflicted on the Palestinian people since 1948.
“Your support for our endeavour today,” he said, “will send a promising message – to millions of Palestinians on the land of Palestine, in the refugee camps both in the homeland and the Diaspora, and to the prisoners struggling for freedom in Israel’s prisons – that justice is possible and that there is a reason to be hopeful and that the peoples of the world do not accept the continuation of the occupation.”
Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor, said his delegation could not accept today’s resolution. “Because this resolution is so one-sided, it doesn’t advance peace, it pushes it backwards,” he stated, adding that peace could only be achieved through negotiations.
“There’s only one route to Palestinian statehood and that route does not run through this chamber in New York. That route runs through direct negotiations between Jerusalem and Ramallah that will lead to a secure and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians,” he added. “There are no shortcuts. No quick fixes. No instant solutions.”
The Israelis and Palestinians have yet to resume direct negotiations since talks stalled in September 2010, after Israel refused to extend its freeze on settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territory.
“Today’s vote underscores the urgency of a resumption of meaningful negotiations,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said after the vote was finalized. “We must give new impetus to our collective efforts to ensure that an independent, sovereign, democratic, contiguous and viable State of Palestine lives side by side with a secure State of Israel. I urge the parties to renew their commitment to a negotiated peace.”
Addressing the same gathering, the President of the General Assembly, Vuk Jeremic, appealed to “my dear friends from Palestine and Israel” to work for peace, to negotiate in good faith, and ultimately, to succeed in reaching the historical settlement.
“I have no doubt that history will judge this day to have been fraught with significance – but whether it will come to be looked upon as a step in the right direction on the road to peace will depend on how we bear ourselves in its wake,” he said. “Let us therefore have the wisdom to act in furtherance of the goal I’m sure we all share.”
In the resolution, the Assembly also voiced the hope that the Security Council will “consider favourably” the application submitted in September 2011 by Palestine for full UN membership.
The Palestinian bid for full UN membership stalled last year when the 15-nation Council, which decides whether or not to recommend admission by the Assembly, said it had been “unable to make a unanimous recommendation.”
Today’s action comes on the same day that the UN observed the annual International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Established in 1977, the Day marks the date in 1947 when the Assembly adopted a resolution partitioning then-mandated Palestine into two States, one Jewish and one Arab.

29 November 2012 – United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today stressed the urgency of stepping up efforts to get the Middle East peace process back on track, and urged Israelis and Palestinians to show courageous leadership to reach a two-State solution.
“Achieving the two-State solution, to which both Israel and the Palestinians have committed, is long overdue,” Mr. Ban said in his message marking the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
“I call on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to show vision and determination. I also urge the international community to help them forge a credible political path that will meet the legitimate aspirations of both sides,” Mr. Ban added.
Established in 1977, the Day marks the date in 1947 when the General Assembly adopted a resolution partitioning then-mandated Palestine into two States, one Jewish and one Arab.
The Israelis and Palestinians have yet to resume direct negotiations since talks stalled in September 2010, after Israel refused to extend its freeze on settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territory.
Tension in the region increased as violence broke out earlier this month, with rocket attacks against Israel from Gaza and Israeli airstrikes on Gaza. The eight days of violence left an estimated 158 Palestinians dead, including 103 civilians, and approximately 1,269 injured. Six Israelis – four civilians and two soldiers – were reportedly killed by Palestinian rocket fire and 224 Israelis were injured, the vast majority civilians.
The violence ended when a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas was declared on 21 November in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
In his message, Mr. Ban, who recently met with leaders in the region, underlined the need to sustain the ceasefire and create the conditions that will allow the resumption of direct negotiations.
“The outlines of an agreement have long been clear, laid out in UN Security Council resolutions, the Madrid principles – including land for peace – the Road Map, the 2002 Arab Peace initiative and existing agreements between the parties,” he said. “What is needed now is political will and courage, as well as a sense of historic responsibility and vision for younger generations.”
The UN chief also called on Israel to cease settlement activity immediately, as this violates agreements and obstructs efforts towards peace. “Continued settlement activity in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is contrary to international law and the Roadmap, and must cease. Unilateral actions on the ground will not be accepted by the international community,” he said.
Regarding the General Assembly vote later today on a bid by Palestinians for Non-Member Observer State status, Mr. Ban stated that “this is a matter for Member States to decide. It is important for all concerned to approach this responsibly and constructively.”
He added, “The goal remains realizing the just and lasting peace for which generations of Palestinians and Israelis have been longing – a peace that will end the occupation that started in 1967, end the conflict and ensure that an independent, viable and sovereign State of Palestine lives side by side with a secure State of Israel.”
In her message to mark the Day, the Director-General of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Irina Bokova, stated that lasting peace must be built on the basis of dialogue, understanding and reconciliation.
She also highlighted the agency’s activities supporting education for Palestinian children, helping to support the development and safeguard Palestinian cultural industries, and promoting freedom of expression in the region.
“These actions reflect UNESCO’s efforts to build peace from the ground up, on the basis of human rights and shared values. Education, culture, communication and freedom of expression are forces for solidarity – they are also the foundations for lasting peace,” Ms. Bokova said.
