UN will have to Vote for Palestine!
-DR. ABDUL RUFF
__________
As September 23rd draws near, both USA and its chief client in Mideast Israel look more and more frustrated and panicky since all their joint efforts and diplomatic gimmicks to dissuade the Palestinian leader M. Abbas from approaching the UN for full recognition with voting rights and , instead, continue to be busy with bogus talks with a fanatic Zionist regime focused exclusively on crimes and illegal settlements in Palestine, have drawn a firm but empty response from the Palestinians.
Recognition of Palestine state as its full member is the top most item on the UN agenda this time when it begins business on Sept-20. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud ‘Abbas and Israeli terror PM B. Netanyahu are both scheduled to deliver addresses before the General Assembly on September 23, although the resolution recognizing Palestinian statehood and asking for full UN membership will not be voted upon until a later date.B. Obama is scheduled to address the body on Wednesday, September 21.
A desperate President Obama has warned the Palestinians against the peaceful UN route for the creation of Palestine state and threatened to suspend the aid to Palestine and other countries that vote in favor of Palestine. If Congress is successful in punishing the Palestinians by suspending US aid, the administration runs the additional risk of being characterized as the nation that cast the nascent state into deeper fiscal distress rather than supporting the Palestinian people as President Obama has promised on numerous occasions.
Obama , like his predecessors, wear a thick mask to hide his real imperialist face and pretend to be an innocent. While the Palestinians, both Hamas and Fatah, are determined to use the proper UN for peaceful resolution of the long pending conflict, the Obama regime, claiming to be the top peace maker in Mideast and elsewhere, is shamelessly keen to defeat the Palestine resolution and make the Palestinians suffer more at the hands of Zionist criminals. If fewer than nine nations support the draft resolution, the measure will fail on its own merit and the US will be spared the predicted diplomatic isolation.
In recent days, as expected from the unilateral super power USA known for coercive diplomacy against those countries that do not obey US orders, the frantic diplomatic efforts by the American government has centered more on convincing other Security Council members, UK, France, Russia and China, plus Germany to support US-Israeli joint agenda and not to cast “yea” votes in order to prevent the Obama administration from exercising its veto as it has promised. Meanwhile, diplomatic pressure is built on to convince the Palestinians to accept a UN status equal to that of the Vatican as the Palestinian momentum builds and nations remain resolute in their intentions to support the statehood bid.
Palestinians have for decades now suffered more than enough at the terror hands of Zionists, and thousands of Palestinians have lost their lives for regaining sovereignty from an arrogant Israel, possessing huge piles of arms arsenals, including illegally obtained nukes. Israel and its sponsors like USA and UK have systematically made their life more and more miserable, by blockades and terror attacks while preventing a elected Palestine government from obtaining even the minimum security equipment for those Muslim nations that come forward to help them live like humans.
Turkey has antagonized with its fast military friend Israel over Gaza blockades by essentially fascist Israeli regime. In a keynote address to the Arab League in Cairo, Turkish Premier Erdogan who has become a champion of the Palestinian cause, argued that supporting the Palestinian bid was an obligation. Erdogan wanted to visit Gaza in the coming days to increase “international attention” on Israel’s siege of the strip. He said he doesn’t think Hamas is a terrorist group as trumped by both USA and Israel. Erdogan's visit was sure to impress upon Palestinian Fatah President Mahmoud Abbas, although the Turkey's ruling AKP would not necessarily like see ruling the Palestinian state the UN is about to recognize. Abbas himself is not averse to a Hamas ruled Palestine if Fatah members are also taken on board by the regime. But that is the post UN vote issue to be discussed by all Palestinians - and not here. .
A Word
Vote for Palestine is not necessarily a vote against USA and its terror partners from the West and East or against Zionist regime, but for upholding human dignity. World had expected a Black politician Obama to promote Palestine cause and support UN resolution cordially, but he has shown his "white" color hidden inside his coat and aptly promotes only US colonialism and western imperialism. . .
Once UN votes for Palestine to end Zionist crimes and illegal proliferation of settlements, USA, EU,UNSC- literally every one- will support the newly established state for helping the freed Palestinians.
By all probability, then, humanity believes, the UN will unanimously vote for a sovereign Palestine, for uplifting humanity ending the Israeli threat and drone terror attack, genocides and illegal colonies, and for Mideast peace!
