American Foreign Policy Filth on Palestine

The US has been saying for decades that it wants a two-state solution in Palestine-Israel: One state for Palestine and one state for Israel. But it rejects recognizing Palestine as a state, and defers this decision to its Zionist handlers who want to annex all of Palestine and reject a Palestinian state. Absurdity? Filth? It's more like collusion to kill any possibility of a Palestinian state.

Non-state-Palestine has been negotiating with state-Israel for decades, and no Palestinian state has seen the light of day. Obviously, negotiations in such an asymmetrical framework between a non-state and a state will lead nowhere, given that one of the two sides has the upper hand and the ultimate decision-making. The Palestinians of the 1980s and 1990s trusted the US as an honest broker, which resulted in the Oslo Accords that did not grant Palestine its independence as a state. Instead, Palestine was shredded into several bantustans all under the direct control of the Israelis who immediately violated Oslo by subjecting the Palestinians to an apartheid system, while stealing more of their their lands to build Jewish settlements on them, demolishing their homes, expelling Palestinians to replace them by Jews, denying Palestinians the right to build new homes and allow their population's natural growth, all of which pointing to a clear objective of aborting any chance of a sovereign Palestinian state.

One would have thought that the events in Gaza that have exposed the complete disregard by Israel of American interets in the region would give the US some backbone. But alas, the American poodles of the Zionist colonial empire continue to behave like invertebrates. With Palestine attempting one more time to gain full membership in the UN, the US is going back to the old stale and rotten policy of rejecting a Palestine state unless Israel approves of it (in so-called negotiations). But how can Israel say out loud that it rejects a Palestinian state and a two-state solution, and be trusted to negotiate in good faith in view of establishing a Palestinian state?

The Americans are either dumb, or they are in collusion with their Zionist handlers. They say they want a Palestinian state, they know Israel does not want a Palestinian state, yet they advise the Palestinians (without putting any pressure on Israel) to negotiate with Israel. Meanwhile, the US Congress threatens to cut off funding to the UN if it approves full membership for Palestine outside an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. 

In other words, the Americans are lying to the Palestinians and the world: They don't want an independent Palestine, they have designed their policies to pre-empt the etablishment of an independent Palestine, and they are in full collusion with the Zionist rapists of Palestine.

Would anyone advise the victim of a kidnapping-rape to negotiate the terms of their release with their kidnapper-rapist whose accomplice is a presumed mediator?

 

To the Palestinians: You have finally understood that you are all alone in this fight, and that everyone is your enemy: The United States and Israel, but also the Arab "brother" monarchies and so-called republics that sold you out by making peace with your rapist. Even disgusting Iran and its Houthi and Hezbollah goons are using you for their own designs, and will abandon you and make peace with your rapist when necessary. You've got to liberate yourselves by yourselves inside Palestine itself. You erred when you tried to "liberate" Palestine by destroying Lebanon back in the 1970s and 1980s. You lost Palestine in 1947 because the Arabs hijacked your cause, and when they lost war after war, they made peace with the enemy and abandoned you. You're on your own. Fight to the death, literally. At least, history will remember that Palestine died in dignity.

 

The Arabs and Palestine should thank the US for its 60 years of deceptive mediation, but it is time to take stock of the fact that the US is captive of the Zionists and has never been, and will never be, an honest broker. Time for alternatives to the 60-year long stalemate. Only fools or traitors still believe that the US wants an independent Palestine.

Palestinians want April vote on UN membership despite US saying peace with Israel must come first

EDITH M. LEDERER

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The Palestinians want the Security Council to vote later this month on their revived request for full membership in the United Nations, despite the United States reiterating Wednesday that Israel and the Palestinians must first negotiate a peace agreement.

Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian U.N. ambassador, said 140 countries recognize the state of Palestine, and “we believe it is high time now for our state to become a full member at the United Nations.”

The Palestinians are making a fresh bid for U.N. membership as the war between Israel and Hamas that began Oct. 7 nears its sixth month, putting the unresolved decades-old Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the spotlight after years on the back burner.

During the Cold War between the former Soviet Union and the United States, Mansour said, countries were blocked from joining the U.N., but they all eventually became members, including North Korea. The U.S. doesn't recognize North Korea but didn’t block its admission, he said, and asked why conditions should be placed on Palestinian membership.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas delivered the Palestinian Authority’s application to become the 194th member of the United Nations to then Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Sept. 23, 2011, before addressing world leaders at the General Assembly.

That bid failed because the Palestinians failed to get the required support of nine of the Security Council’s 15 members. Even if they did, the United States, Israel’s closest ally, had promised at that time to veto any council resolution endorsing Palestinian membership, saying this should follow a negotiated peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.

The Palestinians then went to the 193-member General Assembly, where there are no vetoes, and by more than a two-thirds majority succeeded in having their status raised from a U.N. observer to a non-member observer state in November 2012.

Mansour asked the Security Council on Tuesday to consider during April the Palestinians’ renewed application for membership, which was supported by the 22-nation Arab Group at the United Nations, the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the 120-member Nonaligned Movement.

He told several journalists Wednesday that he expects the council’s Standing Committee on New Members, which includes all 15 council nations, to meet behind closed doors to consider the application before the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan on April 9.

Mansour said he then expects the Security Council to vote on the Palestinian request for full U.N. membership at its monthly meeting on the Middle East, being held at ministerial level April 18.

Seven of the council's 15 members recognize the state of Palestine — China, Russia, Ecuador, Mozambique, Algeria, Guyana and Sierra Leone.

U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller was asked Wednesday whether the United States would veto full membership for Palestinians. “I am not going to speculate about what may happen down the road,” he replied.

He said intensive diplomacy has taken place over the past few months to establish a Palestinian state with security guarantees for Israel, which the United States supports. But Miller said that should be done through direct Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, “something we are pursuing at this time, and not at the United Nations.”

U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood pointed to another obstacle: The U.S. Congress has adopted legislation “that in essence says that if the Security Council approves full membership for the Palestinians outside of a bilateral agreement between Israel and the Palestinians … (U.S.) funding would be cut off to the U.N. system.”

“We’re bound by U.S. laws,” he told several reporters Wednesday. “So our hope is that they don’t pursue that, but that’s up to them.”

Mansour, the Palestinian ambassador, said it is the Palestinians' “natural and legal right” to seek full U.N. membership and declared, “Let the process unfold.”
