"Thursday’s vote was not about a 'Palestinian' state; it was about rewarding savagery and Hamas terror"

In "Sanction of the Savage State" at WND, December 2, Pamela Geller exposes the real agenda behind the UN's vote to give "Palestine" the status of "non-member observer state":

That collective negation of humanity, the United Nations General Assembly, voted Thursday to designate “Palestine” a “non-member observer state.” The measure passed by a huge margin, with 138 nations voting in favor and only nine against (including the U.S. and Canada), along with 41 abstentions.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the vote “unfortunate and counterproductive … plac[ing] further obstacles in the path of peace.” Despite the U.S. opposition (coming after four years of Obama’s thinly veiled hostility toward Israel), this vote represented the sanction of a terror war against innocent civilians made possible by an increasingly weak America on the world stage. As America goes, so goes the defense of freedom. Is it any surprise that less than a month after Obama’s re-election, jihadists go forward with a vote for a terror statelet in Gaza and inside Israel?

This vote was not really any surprise. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, or OIC, rammed it through. The OIC (56 Muslim countries plus the Muslim-occupied areas of Israel that are known as the “Palestinian” territories) is the largest international world body today, and the largest voting bloc at the U.N. And not once does even one of those Muslim countries ever vote contrary to the Islamic supremacist agenda. Ever. So how did you think the vote was going to go?...

And so Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was absolutely right when he said on the day of the vote: “None of the vital interests of peace appear in the resolution that will be put forward before the General Assembly today and that is why Israel cannot accept it.” He was right. This vote for a fictional “Palestinian” state won’t bring peace. If anything, it signals the end of the last great hope for peace, the Oslo “Peace Process.”

The Oslo “Peace” charade has been dead since the second intifada, after Yaser Arafat, the godfather of modern terror, refused the offer of practically everything the jihadists demanded in a “Palestinian” state (including Jerusalem), but now it is officially dead. Everybody now knows the big lie is over.

According to the Israel Project, “Unilaterally seeking to declare a state in the West Bank violates the Palestinians’ Oslo Accord commitments to refrain from ‘steps that will change the status of the West Bank… pending the outcome of the permanent status negotiations.’ High-ranking Palestinian officials have boasted that the resolution will mark the formal end of the decades-old Palestinian peace process with Israel.”

Now that Oslo is officially dead, will Israel, the one side that was actually adhering to the conditions and playing by the rules, finally quit the farce? They are dancing with themselves in this ludicrous peace process. There can be no peace process when the only objective of the enemy is your annihilation. You can sing kumbaya until your throat bleeds, it isn’t going to change reality.

Here’s the thing. The Palestinian Muslims were offered a state in 1948 when the British mandate was being partitioned at this very same UN (although it is vastly different now in mission). Palestinian Muslims wanted a state so bad? Really? Why didn’t they take it in 1948 or the multiple times Israel and various international coalitions (i.e. the quartet) made overly generous offers? Thursday’s vote was not about a “Palestinian” state; it was about rewarding savagery and Hamas terror and denying the Jewish people their homeland. That’s what this is all about. And this never would have happened without the *wink wink* *nod nod* of President Obama in league with the butchers. More of the gruesome consequences of a weak and feckless President.

They want to roll back Oslo? Let’s do it. All the way. Palestinian Islamic Jihad is preparing what they called a “more savage and bloody round” of war with Israel. When this savagery begins, Israel must be allowed to defend itself. If Barack Obama forces another ill-advised Muslim Brotherhood-devised truce upon the Israelis, the consequences could be disastrous not just for Israel, but for the free world in general....

Read it all.

... the status of "non-member observer state"(?)

What ever this means!?

Palestine was NEVER a "state!"
Only a British Mandate (1922-48) - 78% of it went to Jordan!

"... The OIC (56 Muslim countries..) is the largest international world body today"

"OIC Summit: Ten-year strategic action plan" (Saudi embassy, USA)

"... VII. Combating Islamophobia

... 4. Initiate a structured and sustained dialogue in order to project the true values of Islam e.g. Allah, Q.5:38 "thieves) AMPUTATE their HANDS"

“…They must end signaling that there is common ground on these issues between us and the OIC.”

"Thursday’s vote was not about a 'Palestinian' state; it was about rewarding savagery and Hamas terror"
.......................

Exactly so. It's not as though Gaza was being rewarded with quasi-statehood for acting like a good neighbor and a civilized actor, but by *lobbing long-range rockets at Israel's civilian centers"—and before that, by years of savagery towards Israel, barbarism towards their Fatah rivals, and oppression of their own people.

Who but the United Nations could decide that this makes them excellent candidates for statehood?

As America goes, so goes the defense of freedom. Is it any surprise that less than a month after Obama’s re-election, jihadists go forward with a vote for a terror statelet in Gaza and inside Israel?
.......................

I believe this is largely true. There is no one, really, in a position to take our place. The EU will not do it, and most other states, like Canada and Australia, are willing to stand for freedom, but are too small to stand alone as a bulwark against global barbarism.

Our record has been uneven, God knows, but there is no one else if we do not step up. And under Obama, we are unlikely to do more than vote against such insanity. I'm glad we still committed to that, at least...

This vote was not really any surprise. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, or OIC, rammed it through. The OIC (56 Muslim countries plus the Muslim-occupied areas of Israel that are known as the “Palestinian” territories) is the largest international world body today, and the largest voting bloc at the U.N....
.......................

And how insane is that? Not all of these countries are even Muslim-majority. Muslims represent only about 20% of the world's population, but about 90% of its savagery...

And so Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was absolutely right when he said on the day of the vote: “None of the vital interests of peace appear in the resolution that will be put forward before the General Assembly today and that is why Israel cannot accept it.” He was right. This vote for a fictional “Palestinian” state won’t bring peace...
.......................

Of course not—nor was it intended to. In an editorial the other day, the writer crowed over the fact that Israel would have a harder time monitoring Gaza's importing of weaponry, and suggested that they could tie up Israel's resources by dragging her through a plethora of world courts.

None of this has *anything* to do with peace. And why should it? Hamas' own charter calls for the destruction of Israel.

If anything, it signals the end of the last great hope for peace, the Oslo “Peace Process.”
.......................

Before I knew much about Islam, I realized that Oslo—which I had been guardedly hopeful about—marked the end of any plausible concern with peace on the "Palestinian's" part. I had been worried that they would find some reason to pull back at the last minute, even though Israel agreed to almost everything they wanted.

When they didn't merely pull back or stall things, but actually *launched the Second Intifada*, I knew that any idea of "Palestinians" wanting peace with Israel was completely and utterly bogus.

They want to roll back Oslo? Let’s do it. All the way. Palestinian Islamic Jihad is preparing what they called a “more savage and bloody round” of war with Israel. When this savagery begins, Israel must be allowed to defend itself...
.......................

There is, of course, only one problem with this. Even though Israel has been the only civilized actor in the region from the beginning, all too many idiots seem to believe that the real "obstacle to peace" is not Muslim thugs trying to destroy Israel, bu rather Israel's building of apartment houses.

In this mad environment, any attempt by Israel to defend themselves against destruction will be viewed by all too many as "aggression".

Insanity.

Stupid Pallies! "Palestine" was the European name for Israel! The Romans renamed Israel "palaestina" and the British Anglicized it into "palestine" to denote Israel during the British Mandate. Even funnier, "palestine" is derived from the Hebrew "Peleshet" appearing in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "invaders," referring to the Philistines. Thus, today's so-called "palestinians" are invaders!
