On the 23rd of September, the Palestinian people was awaken again to re-start its efforts and struggle to achieve the Palestinian national rights that are agreed on by the Palestinians.

Next Friday…A Bid for Palestinian Full Membership State
President Mahmoud Abbas made a speech yesterday confirming that the Palestinian leadership will ask for a full membership state of Palestine next Friday at the United Nations.
The speech came to put an end for the questions and doubts whether the Palestinians will really ask for a full membership or will only ask for an upgrade of their status at the UN.

How do you become just like the Free Soil, Whig-American, Constitutional Union, Populist, Progressive, States’ Rights, Reform and Green parties?

So you remain comfortably principled, small and largely uninfluential — if you
Inability and Failure settles within the Israeli Leadership before Palestine’s bid for State
It seems that the Israeli leadership did not understand until this moment what is the reason behind the Palestinian bid for recognition of the Palestinian State in the Un.
Inability and Failure are two words that describe the situation of the rightist Israeli government these days. Prime Minister Netanyahu whose refusal to make any development in the peace process resulted in pushing the Palestinian Leadership to reconsider the whole negotiations strategy and decide to address the International community to be responsible and make an action regarding the occupation that the Palestinian is still living everyday.
The Declaration of the Palestinian State already succeeded
Even though some questioned its success, the Palestinian bid for state on the 23rd of September already succeeded. The world understands now that the Palestinians have a right to live in their own state and the Un resolutions regarding Palestine must be applied no matter what.
The Diplomatic efforts brought great success since more than 129 countries already recognized the Palestinian state and will vote for its declaration later this month. Many peoples know more about the Palestinian case and more are joining the campaign to end the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian lands.
