Palestine Nation Land Loss …. “🇵🇸 Their Land Continues to Shrink … Why? 🇵🇸 …. “!!

ISRAELI EXPANSIONISM

WHERE IS PALESTINE?

Take a hard look at these graphs!!
Become a Palestinian for a few seconds … what would you do?
Who is the invader and transgressor?!

Read the following historical facts and come to your own conclusion about who has the right to Palestinian land!

~The Creation of Israel~
The discovery of the Holocaust created great sympathy for the Jews. Many western countries wanted to create a homeland where they could settle and feel safe. The problem was that there were hundreds of thousands of Arabs living in Palestine and they naturally believed that the land was theirs by right.

They had lived there for more than a thousand years.

Jews had been arriving in the area since the 1890’s. Jews believed that Palestine was the ‘Promised Land’ of the Old Testament and that therefore they had a right to settle there.  Friction had soon developed between them and the Arabs.

In the 1930’s there had been a civil war between the two groups.

The British had tried to solve the problem but in the end only managed to make the situation more difficult. They appeared to make promises to both sides, which they could obviously not keep. Eventually they had been forced to give up.

In 1947 the United Nations was faced with having to come up with a solution.

The United Nations recommended dividing Palestine between Arabs and Jews

The plan was published in November 1947.

The Arabs immediately rejected partition, because they believed that Palestine was theirs by right. The Plan also appeared to favor the Jews. Although the population of Palestine was about 60% Arab, the Jews received more than half of the land and the more fertile areas as well.

The Arabs were allotted areas that were mostly desert.

As the British withdrew, the Palestinians fought to gain control of every town. On the other side, Israeli terrorist gangs, the ‘Stern’ and the ‘Irgun’, forced Arabs to leave their homes and flee for their lives. Those who stayed, or tried to fight, were killed, men, women and children.

This was a major factor in the bitter hatred that developed between Jews and Arabs.

Nevertheless, the United Nations plan was approved and preparations began for the new state of Israel

For their part, the Israelis announced that Israel would be a secular state, that meant that religion would have no influence, and that all people living within its borders would have the full rights of citizenship. In other words, although Israel was being created as a homeland for Jews, Arabs would qualify as citizens and be able to vote and stand for the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. This did not satisfy many Arabs. They did not want to live in Israel.

They wanted a state of their own.

On 14 May 1948, the Israeli Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion, announced the creation of the state of Israel. There was great rejoicing in Tel Aviv but the Arab governments in the surrounding countries objected to the new state and tried to destroy it. On 15 May 1948 the armies of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Transjordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt attacked Israel.

Native American tribe takes oil fight to the United Nations 

Dave Archambault, chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, waits to speak against the Energy Transfer Partners’ Dakota Access oil pipeline during the Human Rights Council session at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 20, 2016.

CANNON BALL, NORTH DAKOTA

The simmering showdown here between the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the company building the Dakota Access crude-oil pipeline began as a legal battle.

It has turned into a movement.

We are ALL connected through NATURE!! 

Over the past few weeks, thousands of Native Americans representing tribes from all over the country have traveled to this central North Dakota reservation to camp in a nearby meadow and show solidarity with a tribe they think is once again receiving a raw deal at the hands of commercial interests and the U.S. government.

That river is the source of water for the reservation’s 8,000 residents.

Any leak, tribal leaders argue, would cause immediate and irreparable harm. And tribal leaders point to what they consider a double standard, saying that the pipeline was originally going to cross the Missouri north of Bismarck, the state capital, but was rerouted because of powerful opposition that did not want a threat to the water supply there.

The tribe says it also is fighting the pipeline’s path because, even though it does not cross the reservation, it traverses sacred territory taken away from the tribe in a series of treaties that have been forced upon it over the past 150 years.

To start the day …. “Palestinian Flag Flies at the UN for the First Time”!!

~~October 2, 2015~~ 

DIPLOMATIC VICTORY OR WORTHLESS SYMBOLISM

Historic raising of Palestinian flag at United Nations

New York (CNN)

It’s a watershed moment that has won support on many fronts, but drawn condemnation from Israel and the United States.

The Palestinian flag was raised outside the headquarters of the United Nations in New York for the first time Wednesday. Under cloudy skies, the politically sensitive flag raising ceremony took place at 1:16 p.m. at the U.N.’s Rose Garden.

The historic moment came after Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas told the U.N. General Assembly that the Palestinian Authority was no longer bound by the Oslo Peace Accords.

At the ceremony, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the occasion a “day of pride for the Palestinian people around the world” and a “day of hope.”

During his General Assembly speech, however, Abbas accused Israel of not committing to the Oslo Accords and, in response said,

“They leave us no choice but to insist that we will not remain the only ones committed to the implementation of these agreements, while Israel continuously violates them.”

Abbas declared what he called “Palestine” as a “state under occupation.”

“We therefore declare that we cannot continue to be bound by these agreements and that Israel must assume all of its responsibilities as an occupying power, because the status quo cannot continue,” Abbas said.

The Oslo Accords are a series of peace agreements between Israel and the Palestinians signed in the 1990’s.

The consequences of Abbas’ declaration remain unclear, and its practical effects on the relations between Israelis and Palestinians are uncertain, including its effects on security coordination between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

The flag-raising ceremony puts the spotlight on the Palestinians and highlights their ongoing efforts to obtain statehood, but it needs to be more than a symbolic act for it to be meaningful, Palestinians say.

Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize this year with Indian children’s rights activist Kailash Satyarthi, said the United Nations’ goals from next year should focus on education.

“We must be determined that our dream of quality education for all will also come true,” Yousafzai said today in the text of a speech delivered in Norway as she accepted the prize. Leaders gathering in 2015 to decide on the next set of sustainable development goals “must seize this opportunity to guarantee a free, quality primary and secondary education for every child.”

Yousafzai, 17, was shot in the head by the Taliban in 2012 in retaliation for her campaign for girls to be given equal rights to schooling, defying threats from militants in her hometown of Mingora. She became the first teenager to win the prize, announced in Oslo in October.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.

The theme of this year’s commemoration is “Partnerships for Peace – Dignity for All” which aims to highlight the importance of all segments of society to work together to strive for peace.

The work of the United Nations would not be possible without the initial partnerships that were active in its creation and the thousands of partnerships each year between governments, civil society, the private sector, faith-based groups and other non-governmental organizations that are needed to support the Organization in achieving its future goals.

Partial  Let There Be Peace On Earth Lyrics

Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
And live each moment
With peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me.

In these times in which we live, the concept of PEACE is so important.

There’s conflict everywhere.

Beginning with the smallest unit, which is self, and reaching the widest arena, which is worldwide, all of us yearn for peace.

Peace is calm, basic comfort, family cohesion and unity, love, compassion, freedom from persecution and fear, standing together to hold each one up.

Hand in hand, working for a common goal.

Can we go back to this?

Have we reached the point of no return?

I wonder.

At the end of the day .… “Angelina Jolie Pleads for Help for Millions of Syrian Refugees”!!

~~September 8, 2015~~ 

ANGELINA JOLIE

Actress and director Jolie, a special envoy of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, appealed for unity and accountability for some 4 million Syrian refugees. She has made 11 visits to Syrian refugees in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Malta.

“We cannot look at Syria, and the evil that has arisen from the ashes of indecision, and think this is not the lowest point in the world’s ability to protect and defend the innocent,” Jolie told the 15-member Security Council.

“Those refugees cannot come to this council, so please, will you go to them,” said Jolie, who also berated the council for failing to overcome divisions to end the war.

UNITED NATIONS

Actress Angelina Jolie pleaded with world powers Friday to help the millions of Syrian refugees, sharply criticizing the U.N. Security Council for being paralyzed by its division over Syria’s four-year conflict.

Jolie said the council must now “work as one,” and she said she would like to see the foreign minister of each of the 15 council members come to the table to negotiate a political solution.

She also urged council members to visit Syrian refugees and see the crisis for themselves.

In addition, Jolie spoke briefly about the rising migrant crisis on the Mediterranean, where more than 1,300 migrants fleeing Syria and other places have drowned at sea over the past three weeks.

“It is sickening to see thousands of refugees drowning on the doorstep of the world’s wealthiest continent,” she said. “No one risks the lives of their children in this way except out of utter desperation.”

In January, Jolie appealed for urgent funding to assist millions of displaced Iraqis and Syrians living in dire conditions in northern Iraq.

More than 3.8 million Syrians have fled to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt, according to the UNHCR, while another 7.6 million Syrians are displaced inside the country. At least 1.8 million Iraqis were also displaced last year by violence triggered by the Sunni militant onslaught.
