Palestinians lobby for convincing win in U.N. vote - Yahoo! News


RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinians have launched a diplomatic blitz aimed at garnering a strong majority for a vote granting the non-member statehood at the United Nations slated for next month, officials said on Tuesday.

Despite heading for a sure victory in the U.N General Assembly, mostly consisting of post-colonial states historically sympathetic to the Palestinians, West Bank diplomats are courting European countries to further burnish their campaign.

"From the E.U. we will have a minimum of 12 votes and maybe up to 15, as some are not yet decided," Wasel Abu Yousef, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization, told Reuters. There are 27 nations within the European Union.


Palestinian officials say that they can count on around 115 'yes' votes, mostly from Arab, African, Latin American, and Asian states, and expect around 22 no-votes, led by the United States, and 56 abstentions in the 193-member organization.

Frustrated in their request for full statehood last year amid U.S. opposition at the United Nations Security Council, Palestinians have launched a watered-down bid for recognition as an "observer state" -- the same status given to the Vatican.

Senior Palestinian officials have fanned out around the globe to press their case, including a meeting in Paris with French President Francois Hollande at the weekend.

Speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the talks, a Palestinian official said they hoped to flip a possible French abstention into a yes-vote, while other waiverers might also switch position nearer the date.

They can't have that.

Cool, a state with no land and no borders. An emperor with a bare ass for all to stare at, indeed.

What is extreme about an elected government?

the sole purpose of oslo and the PLO is to reduce the cost of the occupation for israel

as you say, hamas won the last proper election in west bank and gaza

so it would be rather expensive for USA if PLO became bankrupt

not that those AIPAC and USA congress numbskulls even realise this

israeli govt itself was giving advance tax receipts to PLO to keep it going last month

 

[docmauser1]

What will palistanians be without occupation?

as you say, hamas won the last proper election in west bank and gaza

Indeed, assholes deserve what they've elected.

Actually it shifts that cost onto the US taxpayers. People think that the money given to Palestine is for the Palestinians but it is for Israel.

as you say, hamas won the last proper election in west bank and gaza

Most people think that Hamas was elected in Gaza. Not so. Hamas is the elected government in the West Bank also.

i fear we will never know
israel certainly doesn't want us to find out

all israel is offering our poor pals is jewish created ghettos like gaza and apartheid style bantustans

Indeed, assholes deserve what they've elected.

yes...like liebermann the jewish mafia crypto fascist

george w. bush.....twice

even hitler was elected once

the list of elected assholes is endless

kvetch,

I continue to believe the best thing for Palestinians is to separate themselves from US aid completely.

Deals with Satan have much too high a cost, to offset any benefits of such aid. Too many strings attached to that aid!

for me, Sherri pals and PLO are 2 different things

PLO are corrupt stooges....not all ( I like Hanan Ashrawi a lot) but largely

pals break my heart every time I think of their plight; they deserve decent leaders as do all arabs and muslims everywhere and there aint enough of those

They can't, they have to have an occupation, of course.

UN food aid -----is the most important reason to BE A "palestinan refugee" That aid is MOSTLY supported
by US money------and it provides anyone who claims to be a
"palestinian refugee" and is willing to live in the shit holes that their fellow muslims provide for them---------a living that exceeds the average egyptian fellah In some cases the right to be a "palestinian refugee" by marrying one constitutes a DOWRY when an egyptian marries -----one of them

Indeed, another expense that Israel has dropped onto the US taxpayer.

I am fascinated Tinnie-----I first stumbled into the islamo nazi pig propaganda as a VERY YOUNG CHILD I was a bit precoscious as a reader-----and read just about anything that was "lying around"------since I grew up in a town that had been something of a BUNDIST town during the world war II era------and still harbored lots of nazis like you---------what was LYING AROUND-----included nazi literature. Much of the nazi literature included issues of MONEY ---the jews controlled it. the jews had it all, and the jews were causing people in the US to lose it ----TO ISRAEL In fact the whole issue seemed to be-------"THE JEWS TAKE OUR MONEY" One of the biggest issues at that time was "JEWS CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO ISRAEL-----CALL IT CHARITY----and GET A TAX DEDUCTION which is caling us noble christians ----TRILLIONS ON LOST TAXES" this libel was so PERVASIVE that it was included in the kindergarten curriculum of muslim countries as I-------and some of my colleagues---later discovered from muslim medical school graduates in the USA. It existed even before the DUALIE lible that you and your fellow nazi pigs invented. You guys are VERY CREATIVE

UN is only 20% financed by USA, (when it actually pays its UN dues, that iss)

so pals refugees get 80% from others via UNRWA

total US aid is only 0.18% of US GDP and by far the largest single recipient is indeed israel, which also gets billions in weapons as well.

civilised countries in europe like UK give 0.7%; nearly 5 times as much as USA, and all to genuinely poor countries

the USA aint the whole world, you know, thank god
