Why Gillard was opposed to Palestine's upgraded UN status

Oh goody, if youre reading Rense then your 911 story should be a doozy.
Go on...

Twits like you automatically assume it's some sort of Islamic conspiracy, a plot for them to take over the world, (and you reckon I'm a conspiracy nut) when in reality, it's about Palestine being recognised a state (unto itself) by an international community, a state able to air grievances in an international court in a civilised democratic manner.

Good point.

This is not about religion, it's about genocide and natural resources yet again, and hasn't it always?

We rarely hear about the deprivation and cruelty the Jews have always imposed on the Palestinians. Israel is a law unto its own. They ignore international laws and to this day they continue with their persecution. Health care in Palestine is almost non-existent and their money is controlled by Israel. Water is severely restricted by Israel's damming of the Jordan river. Israel claims most of the water - which of course affects the Palestinians ability to grow food. They are starving and deprived of basic necessities. Palestinian children languish in Israel prisons. The Israeli's also have slaves - another aspect of their quest for world domination. The rest of the world does nothing while Israel bombs, deprives and tortures displaced people.

Now our children are about to have the Jewish Holocaust rammed down their throats, while the so called persecuted people in turn persecute the Palestinians.

On May 14, Israelis will commemorate the 60th anniversary of their “War of Independence” and founding of the Jewish State. It also marks 60 years of Palestinian Nakba suffering.

The Palestinian Holocaust

From 1947 onwards...

Thousands of displaced Palestinians were rounded up and imprisoned. Others were targeted, harassed and abused. They lost everything – their land, homes, fields, crops, places of worship, freedom of movement and expression, and any hope for fair treatment in the new Jewish State.

Naked and undisguised racism confronted them. They were issued identity cards with penalties up to 1.5 years in prison and immediate transfer to an “unauthorized” and “suspicious” Arab pen if caught without them.

Persecution was relentless, much the way it is today. Roadblocks and checkpoints went up, curfews imposed, violators shot on sight, and systematic abuse inflicted. In addition, thousands of Palestinians were conscripted, sent to labor camps, and forced to help build the new Jewish state. Conditions there were deplorable. Quarry laborers performed arduous work, carried heavy rocks, and had to live on one potato and half a dried fish for daily sustenance. Complainers or slackers were beaten, many severely. Others, considered a threat, were simply shot.

Other Arabs weren’t treated much better. Human rights abuses were appalling. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) documented them. Palestinians (now Israeli citizens) got no protections and were afforded no rights. They were subjected to relentless abuses. Their mosques were profaned, schools vandalized, homes robbed and at times stripped bare in broad daylight. Palestinians reported that not a single home or Arab shop escaped the onslaught. Authorities did nothing to deter it. They made things worse.

Palestinians (inside Israel) were transfered from their homes, moved to undesired locations, crammed into confined ghettos, they became open-air prisons, and treatment there was horrific. The ICRC and UN reported beatings, rapes and other abuses. Israel was undergoing transformation. Its Arab character was being erased. It affected about 150,000 remaining Arab Israelis in the new Jewish State.

Formal ethnic cleansing ended in 1949, dispossession and displacements nonetheless continued, and a new Committee for Arab Affairs was established to defuse growing international pressure to enforce UN Resolution 194, especially the right of return under Article 11.

Arab Israelis lost all their rights and were placed under military rule. In addition, discriminatory laws were passed, like the Law of the Land of Israel. It stipulated that the Jewish National Fund (JNF – the Jewish State landowner) was forbidden to sell or lease land to non-Jews.

You can't have a state if you can't even organize a govt without tribal sand monkeys waring with each other

Sore losers reflect....

Haaretz said Israel suffered a humiliating defeat in New York. So did truth about what actually happened, what it means, and what’s likely going forward. More on that below.

Thursday’s vote expressed overwhelming support. UN Member States number 193. Five didn’t vote. Of those that did, 138 said yes, nine voted no, and 41 abstained.

Countries voting no included America, Israel, Canada, the Czech Republic, Panama, and four small Pacific island states: Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and Palau. They’re in lockstep with all US/Israeli policies. They spurn Palestinian rights.

Countries abstaining included Britain (after expressing support) Germany, Australia, Colombia, South Korea, Haiti (under US-installed puppet Michel Martelly), Singapore, Rwanda (under US puppet Paul Kagame), the Netherlands, Paraguay (under coup d’ etat puppet Federico Franco), Poland, Hungry, and 29 others.

Netanyahu was typically arrogant. Palestine “must be prepared to end the conflict with Israel once and for all….No decision by the UN (changes) the rights of the Jewish people in this land.”

Blaming the victim continues. Palestine for Jews alone reflects official Israeli policy.

Obama strongly opposed upgrading Palestine’s status. He affords Israel one-sided support. No rights for Palestinians is official US policy.

Hillary Clinton reflects bullying, bluster and imperial arrogance. She blasted the UN vote. “Unfortunate and counterproductive,” she called it. In other words, any support for Palestine can’t be tolerated.

UN ambassador Susan Rice gives diplomacy a bad name. She’s an embarrassment to legitimate governance. She’s one of America’s worst ever envoys.

She mirrors Clinton. Her style is belligerent, arrogant, and offensive. She has major unexplained conflicts of interest.

Her 2011 financial disclosures show she “and her husband own at least $1.25 million worth of stock in four of Canada’s eight leading oil producers.”

She has up to $600,000 equity in TransCanada Corp. It’s building the environmentally destructive Keystone XL pipeline.

Her holdings also include up to $11.25 million in Royal Bank of Canada, as well as lesser equity in other Canadian financial institutions funding XL.

She’s perhaps frontrunner to replace Hillary Clinton next year as Secretary of State. She has lots of explaining to do.

So why was Israel declared a state again?

--- I think given the opportunity, Palestine will prosper.

Israel + the US want Palestines natural resources, gas and oil.

Fact!

[Mattus]

Palestinians may then take Israel to the ICC over child detentions and other crimes against humanity.

Oh. My. God. They detain children? Those fucking barbarians!

[boxy]

Has Palestine ever been a recognised state in itself? I thought the Israelis took that area off Egypt and Jordan during one of their early wars.

[Rorschach]

There is no Palestine.
Just the mandate that was split up.

[mellie]

The UN officially now recognise a Palestinian state...and it's a good start.

Suck it up Israel!!
