Victory for Palestine and the People of the World: “We are all Palestinian”

World United News

On November 21^st, 2012 we were witness to an agreement of peace between the government of Hamas in the Gaza strip, and the Israeli government; a MAJOR breakthrough for global peace.

However, it is important to note that the reason why this peace treaty was reached between the two sides in the first place was due to the massive outcry by ordinary people around the World…the voice that cried out at every protest on every street around the World, “The People United, Will Never Be Defeated”!  

A Lasting Peace?

If we are to see a lasting peace in the Middle East we will need to see the total cessation of hostilities between Israel and the people of Gaza, but also, this cessation must include ending the hostile starvation blockade placed on Gaza by Israel and its supporting Western Governments.

The terms of the peace agreement reveal that the air, land, and sea blockade will be lifted by Israel…so this is a MAJOR step forward IF the Israelis remain true to their word…only time will tell. For the time being however, we must rejoice that significant progress has been made for the besieged people of Gaza.

Choices and Requirements for Lasting Peace:

Requirements for a lasting Peace throughout all of Palestine and Israel must also include an end to all illegal settlements, occupations, including a cessation of hostility towards the people, that is, of course, if a two state solution is still being supported. If so, then Israel must return to 1967 borders as stated by the United Nations and its general assembly.

Let’s be realistic about this, the two state solution has no possibility of working because the Israeli government and the settlers will refuse to give up any of the land they have seized from the Palestinians, and the Palestinians will refuse to concede the land that was taken from them, so there is no possible way to do this unless both sides are forced to do it at gunpoint. 

The problems faced in the region today go back to the errors made by the United Nations in 1948 when they created the State of Israel by carving it out of Palestine. In essence, the two state solution was a UN Security Council decision which is at the heart of this problem.

The "One State Solution", dominated by the Israeli's or by the Palestinian's is also not acceptable because it is a recipe for total disaster. Dominance by either side would be destructive because it is totally divisional, militaristic, driven by fanaticism and powered by a warlike nationalist mindset. Taking this path leads to an endless war between both sides that could quickly lead to regional war and or a global conflict, so this path must be avoided at all costs.

Real Solution for Lasting Peace

The only real solution for the region is the one that nobody is talking about and that is a “Reunification of Palestine” where ALL THE PEOPLE, within the old borders of Palestine, rule together. Shared power would mean a democratic process for all the inhabitants regardless of faith or ethnicity, and it would mean freedom of worship, freedom of movement, and the right to live for all.

The reunification solution also calls for the creation of provinces within the state, where for example, one region could be called Israel, another Gaza, etc. This option requires that ALL POLITICAL FACTIONS make concessions in the name of peace, prosperity, respect, and unity. This option is the true path to peace in the Middle East and for that matter the road to global peace that I am sure is supported by a large majority of the people.

Back to the Present Reality

There’s one thing that Israel and the Western leaders did not expect when they gave Israel the authorization to attack the people of Gaza, and that was the backlash from a growing political awakening by people around the world.

Communication with each other VIA the Internet has fostered the awakening of a global consciousness that is dynamic in the social, political, and ethical spheres; and it was this global consciousness that forced the World leaders to pressure Israel into a peace treaty on November 21^st, 2012. It will be a day remembered when the global majority spoke out with one voice on the World’s Political stage.

On this day, the global collective declared themselves to be Palestinian.

Common Sense

If the UN is going to hold onto any credibility with the citizens of the world, then the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council must be unanimous in recognizing Palestine and the needs of all people throughout the world. If they cannot agree to this simple fact then there simply will not be a need for the United Nations body, such as it is, anymore. It’s time to turn swords into ploughshares and evolve with the citizens of the World.

A transition period is always required, when bringing any new venture into reality, so let's move away from the standard process of extremes and move forward through gradual change towards a realistic goal.

Freedom for the Palestinian people is directly linked to the moral well being of the Worlds population and by the global political awakening that has put an Imperial driver in check.

There is a great deal of danger ahead for everyone, but we can rise together in unity and end the insanity that dictates the direction of the world simply by adding a moral consciousness to it.

The younger generation that is coming up will be a tidal wave of change…things will never go back to the way they were again. The economy and its stinging reality in hardship is beginning to hit home throughout Europe and North America, and that is causing more minds to open in the global consciousness. 

The common foundation of all people in North America, Europe and the rest of the World, including those asleep, is moral perception and common sense based on education and upbringing. Social networks have given all of us a platform for education, where we can voice our opinions and interact in a spirit of sharing knowledge and most importantly, a chance to see what life is really like on the other side of the fence.

The internet has given rise to a consciousness that has united people in mind and spirit around the world...it is a global awakening…however there are many that have been left behind by the advances in global communication simply because they cannot escape the prisons of propaganda in their minds due to years of state programming. Many of my generation in North America (Baby Boomers) will pass with the old world beliefs, mainly because they are fearful of letting go of old programs. During the baby boom years people were only given a distorted one sided view of the World, so today’s information age can be a real challenge for those who are set in their ways. The younger generation, for the most part, has no such limit and is very quick to find out how the world works and who is running it. This is a generation that finds time on its hands to do extensive information research on the internet due to mass youth unemployment and rising costs for education. They are the future, and they are awake.

Global Identity

All around the World, people have evolved during the Information age and become more aware of the extremely criminal and fraudulent banking cartel that has systematically destroyed of their freedoms and liberties. When protesting the power elite and their monopoly, people are met with a militarized police force who use teargas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets to disperse them. The riot police are there to enforce the system and beat down any resistance to it. But it is also in this context of suffering that people begin to understand and identify with what it is like to be Palestinian, although it pales in comparison to the daily strife that the Palestinian people endure everyday under their brutal occupation by the Israelis.

Sticking with the current World Banking System is a recipe for disaster which only leads to extreme poverty. The people have had enough and will not allow the status quo to continue. Change is required across the board, be it in banking, institutional education, living conditions, or human rights. The people of the World have expressed their anger towards today's economic system controllers and have stated vociferously that they (we) are in complete solidarity with the Palestinian people. We are all Palestinian, and that means the people of the World want their freedom and independence from the totalitarian power structure that drives the world towards war. It is time for the voice of the people to enter the sphere of decision-making and to forge a new World that drives humanity towards a 1000 years of peace. Free Palestine, Free Gaza, Free the World!

Today, we are Palestinian.
