Sweeping support for full UN membership for Palestine | Inside Story

The international community has debated Palestinian statehood for decades.
Full membership at the United Nations would effectively recognise that. Sweeping support at the General Assembly is the first step, but the final seal of approval comes from the UN Security Council.
Last month, the United States vetoed a resolution tabled by Algeria -- and says it will do so again.
What difference could the backing of 143 nations make to Palestine's non-member Special Observer status?
Presenter: Neave Barker
Guests: Jeffrey Sachs -- Former UN Adviser

[@arnystieber732]

I’m in the U.S.. US plutocracy needs Israel as its military proxy in the Middle East. The U.S. plutocracy is fixated on world domination and Israel is key to creating conflict and thus war and conquest. In addition, and because of this fixation, the US economy is heavily dependent on military supplies- bombs, rockets, tanks and all the rest that a military requires. 40% of US exports are weapons. The plutocracy sees no profit in peace.

[@Wolfways]

Simple. Israel isn't the enemy.

[@nickmolinary2044]

It's a confluence of various factors. Leaving aside the explicitly ideological ones, you have decades of hefty lobbying influence by AIPAC and others within US national politics. For the vast majority of politicians in the US, blindly and unconditionally siding with Israel is a matter of political survival and often constitutes the price of admission--although this is changing now that there is a mass popular movement in favor of Palestinian liberation. You also have geopolitical interests of the US ruling class: US economic, military and political intervention in the Middle East depends on maintaining strategic leverage over geopolitical rivals through alliances or even by cultivating (as in the case with Israel) complete dependency on US patronage. It's a rough analogy, but you can think of Israel as the US "queen" in the geopolitical chess game of positioning in the Middle East, at least as far as the US ruling class's administrators are concerned. None of this justifies their crimes of course, but it helps to understand the stakes and why many remain so dogmatically committed to supporting an apartheid regime even to the point of sponsoring a g_______e.

Who shall stand?? “I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:2 “The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.” Isaiah 24:5-6 Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, Jesus is the ONLY hope and way! Doubltless we pray for the Palestinians but there is no such thing as a Palestinian state! The land belongs to Abraham, Issac, and Jacob!! “For when they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape”! Parting the land, brings God judgements, and when it comes and it will come because it is written, the enemies of Israel will be utterly and suddenly destroyed, and that without remedy!!

@@BridgeTROLL777 The US already does whatever it wants and cannot be influenced diplomatically through the UN at all, it only uses UNSC and UN resolutions when it can serve to provide a cover for what the US already wants to do, by making it seem to be more a decision by "the international community" than a unilateral one. Anything that may from time to time seem like the US is abandoning its goals on the basis of pressure at the UN is just for show.

The US said that only through a negotiated settlement. With whom? Israeli law doesn't allow the Israeli government to accept the existence of a Palestinian state. However how did Israel become a state? Wasn't it through the adoption of UN Resolution 181? Whatever the process that started with 181, that resolution also declared a Palestinian State.
