PA to Ask UN Security Council for Statehood on Sept 23

by Chana Ya'ar

The Palestinian Authority has announced it will submit its application to the United Nations Security Council to appeal for recognition as a new country and attain acceptance in the body.
PA Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki announced Thursday that the entity plans to submit its bid for full U.N. membership with the Council on Friday, September 23. The announcement ended speculation that Abbas would consider alternate plans forwarded by various diplomats who had frantically tried to dissuade the PA from pursuing a unilateral course via the U.N.
Nevertheless, a parade of envoys from the United States, the European Union and the Quartet of Nations (comprised of the U.S., Russia, the EU and the U.N.) are still engaged in trying to persuade the PA to return to the negotiating table with Israel.
“We will see if any of them is carrying a credible offer that will allow us to look into it seriously,” al-Maliki told reporters in Ramallah. “Otherwise, on the 23rd at 12:30 p.m. [Abbas] will submit the application.”
The United States, a permanent member of the Council, has already announced that it will exercise its veto to block the move.  Read on...

A former head of Saudi Arabian intelligence and ex-ambassador to Washington, Turki al-Faisal said:
''The United States must support the Palestinian bid for statehood at the United Nations this month or risk losing the little credibility it has in the Arab world. If it does not, American influence will decline further, Israeli security will be undermined and Iran will be empowered, increasing the chances of another war in the region,'' Mr Faisal says.
''Moreover, Saudi Arabia would no longer be able to co-operate with America in the same way it historically has. With most of the Arab world in upheaval, the 'special relationship' between Saudi Arabia and the United States would increasingly be seen as toxic by the vast majority of Arabs and Muslims, who demand justice for the Palestinian people.'' He adds: ''Saudi leaders would be forced by domestic and regional pressures to adopt a far more independent and assertive foreign policy.''
''American support for Palestinian statehood is therefore crucial, and a veto will have profound negative consequences. In addition to causing substantial damage to American-Saudi relations and provoking uproar among Muslims worldwide, the United States would further undermine its relations with the Muslim world, empower Iran and threaten regional stability,''
God says:  “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. …Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God.’ “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.”  (Zechariah 12:2-6)
The Jerusalem Connection says:  It appears God is setting the stage for the fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecy. Humanly speaking the Palestinians' unilateral attempt at acquiring statehood is a geopolitical train wreck waiting to happen. More to the point however, it is an act of blatant defiance against the God of Israel and his covenant promise for a homeland for the Jewish people. Hopefully it will serve as a wake up call causing us to recognize that we really don’t have any friends in the Muslim world. There are some unprecedented catastrophes that must take place before the kingdom of God comes on earth as it is heaven. May those events be accelerated so that “the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.”(Isaiah 9:6-7)
 
Understanding UN bias against Israel

The United Nations has made the democratic State of Israel the target of incessant condemnation while neglecting its mandate in challenging the oppressive regimes around the world.

The following film clip uncovers the factors behind the UN’s bias against Israel. We encourage you to view the clip, forward to friends, and partner with us to counter the hypocrisy and expose the truth.

Join us September 21, 2011 in holding the United Nations accountable for its actions at a pro-Israel demonstration as the UN launches its third World Conference against Racism (Durban III). The event will take place opposite the UN Headquarters in Dag Hammershald Plaza, NYC at 11:00 AM. We hope to see you there.

Tom, I do hope everything goes OK for your friend and brother Bill! I know you've spoken of him often. I wish I could do something to help you Tom, but wait and be patient- it would be too soon, I think, after losing Sharron and Andy, that any relationship would be almost like a rebound kind- if that makes sense. Not that you're desperate, but just very lonely, which makes you vulnerable to the wrong sort. I will keep you in my prayers for all things Tom, you know I will. God Bless, and I am posting a special letter on my blog in a minute- if you get a chance, please go by and read it. It's a letter to the Nations who will be voting next Friday concerning a so called palestinian state. I know things are falling into place, a puzzle that the Lord planned before the world, and I know nothing I say or do will change, speed up or slow down anything, but I have it so heavy on my heart to see what is going on with that whole thing, I needed to let it out.
Anyway, God Bless you Tom. I'm proud of the weight you've lost, but I do hope you get healthy!!!
