    On November 29th of last year the United Nations General Assembly voted to recognise Palestine as a non-member State . This recognition, along with Palestine's recently acquired membership of UNESCO, gives the Palestinians access to the international courts- an access which Israel and its patron, the United States , were desperate to block. The result of the United Nations voting for Palestinian Statehood was 138 in favour to 9 against- the nine including Israel, the United States, Canada, the Czech Republic and a smattering of oceanic islanders . Clearly , the world as a whole is overwhelmingly in favour of an Israeli withdrawal to the pre-1967 borders with the Palestinian State, the so-called Green Line which is the 1949 armistice line of Israel's halted advancement into the 1947 UN-designated proposed State of Palestine, the same designation which approved , in principal, a State of Israel.

    So, here we are in 2013 and , after six decades of Israeli erosion of the Palestinian State, erosion fronted by a policy of ethnic-cleansing, territorial annexations , brutality and plain old-fashioned murder, the view upon the ground is one of an Israeli sprawl across Palestine supplemented by huge walls, watch towers, razor-wire , illegal squats, daily raids and arrests, shootings, house-demolitions and declarations of intent to smother the Palestinians with illegal Israeli building projects inside Palestinian territory. These illegal actions are supported by the US which uses its veto in the Security Council to shield Israel- and its neoZionist government- from the manifestation of the wrath of world condemnation in the form of sanctions, a tool which the US eagerly employs to oppose what it sees as fascism elsewhere.

    NeoZionist fascism then is allowed to run free in Palestine , courtesy of the US taxpayer who is regularly milked with Congressional approval by the Israel Lobby in Washington. This lobby is essentially the executive arm of AIPAC, the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee, which has been accurately described as an agency for a foreign power. Thus the term ' US of AIPAC ' describes an American government which is so deeply intertwined with this foreign power that its Presidential elections depend upon saying the right words of appeasement and support for a fascist regime which openly and scornfully ignores its UN membership pledges and mocks humanitarian and international law. This is the view of the 138 States of the world who had the moral courage to stand up and vote for Palestinian Statehood on November 29th, a Statehood which the US of AIPAC and its client fascists say is a worthless trimming, a State in name only, a bolt in the stable door from which the neoZionist beasts have already left to devour the fields, groves and Palestinian farmers. Bollox.
    Today the Palestinians have taken another, irreversible step in opposition to illegal Israeli occupation. They look towards fair-minded and freedom-loving Americans to support them, to support them because theirs is the moral stand and because their moral stand has the support of most of the world and international law. The US of AIPAC is becoming increasingly isolated and all that neoZionism has planned for it is further war on its behalf. Kick your Congressman's arse today.

    The so called "State of Palestine" joins the ranks of other terrorist run states. Congratulations!

    In my opinion, any State in the Middle East should feel a sense of entitlement to clamor for States' rights as part of our exportation of democracy product.

    In my opinion, States require statesmen, not mere politicians.

    a very small but symbolic step forward for palestinians.

    the tragedy is that in reality they aren't remotely a "state". It hasn't ended the occupation. It hasn't yet reconciled the results of its civil war. Citizens cannot freely travel between the "provinces" .

    Let's hope that one day the palestinians can fully realize their national vision with a real state.

    I believe one grievance has resolved. What excuse could persons with a shiny new State have for not ensuring their domestic tranquility and security?

    And even perhaps have a concentration camp, like israel does and shoot phosphorus weapons on the civilians.

    Do you think you have to be a citizen to join their military?

    I dont think israel requires a citizenship. They have ops in the US; AIPAC.

    And thanks to "quantitative easing" and other reckless economic policies, it will be more valuable than the USD!

    It is lovely indeed. Cartoons is where Israel-haters are at their best, cartoons is where the Islamists always win. Last I checked in the real life though, the Islamonazis have been whining and moaning daily about Israel's counter-punches....I mean real counter-punches, not cartoonish ones.

    A photo of a moooooslem holding a placard with the alleged words 'God Bless Hitler' on it.....Wow! I'm convinced!!...Lol...Even if this photo is the real McCoy, it doesn't, of course, negate the fact that 'Islamnazi' or 'Islamofascist' are oxymorons.

    Abu's image is funny- unlike Borat's painfully evident and racist photochop.

    It is funny, I agree with you there, Moon - it reminds me of 30's Soviet drawings, where anorexic Soviet worker flips a fat American capitalist with a bag of money, a steak and a pretty girl on his lap :)
