Palestine: US Republican front runner Rick Perry Gets it Very Wrong About Israel Palestine

Refusing to recognize the rights of the indigenous people of the so-called holy land is what has destabilized the Middle East.

As Israel’s nuclear whistle-blower, Mordechai Vanunu said, “Israel is not a democracy unless you are a Jew.”

 The “so called right of return” is what Zionists claim for any Jew without any historical connection to that land to come and colonize upon legally owned Palestinian property.

The establishment of the State of Israel was contingent upon upholding the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, which enshrines:

Article 13

1. Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.
2. Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.

PERRY says : “The circumvention of serious negotiations by PA President Mahmoud Abbas demonstrates a basic failure of leadership and a betrayal of the true interests of the Palestinian people.”

THE PALESTINIANS want :

1.  Ending the occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall.
2. Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality.
3. Respecting, protecting, and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN resolution 194.

Recognition of a Palestinian state in the UN will not end the military occupation, but it will gain virtual citizenship, a passport and sovereignty, legal protection against violence by Israeli settlers, the right to fight back in self-defense if attacked and potential backing for their claims from international tribunals such as the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.

Note EU-Digest:: In our opinion Palestine should present its request to the General Assembly instead of the Security Council. Given they will certainly achieve a two thirds majority in that assembly Palestine can become a UN permanent associate member (same as the Vatican). 

Palestine's  permanent associate membership of  the UN and all the political and diplomatic privileges and clout this entails, including eventual full UN membership, will give it far more flexibility and independence on the world scene. 

On the other hand all Palestinians ( including Hamas) need to recognize Israels existence as a sovereign Middle Eastern state and pledge to refrain from, and outlaw, any terrorist or violent attacks on Israel from Palestine. 

Eventually any  agreement should also include for Israel to return all the occupied land on the West Bank, where over the years they have allowed more than 300.000 Jewish residents to settle. To expedite a speedy conclusion of the agreement between Israel and Palestine all economic and military aid (Israel), presently provided to both countries, except humanitarian aid, should be halted until this agreement is reached.
