ROAD TO PALESTINIAN INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN STATEHOOD
 When the countries which are supposed to be the "leaders" of the world fail to bring a resolution and peace to the central hot spot, the major eyesore of the Middle East, it is time for others to step up and fill the gap. It is way past time for those nations, which have repeatedly voted in favor of UN resolution 242 and 181 and the right of return, to step up to the plate and give substantive support in public with real time actions toward the recognition of Palestinian sovereign statehood (put your actions where your vote lies).
It is way past time for the peace charade to end, too many people have died because of the game of mere appearance with no reality. By this time it should be clear the the United States can no more broker an even handed deal between the parties of Israel and the Palestinians because there plainly is NO intention to do so.
One has only to look at the peace plans strewn over the landscape, they are patently disingenuous and in favor of Israel. Even when there was a ray of hope, in the middle of these muddled and one sided agreements, Israel scuttled the process by wanton acts of violence and intolerable activities.
The plain fact of the matter is that Israel does not want peace, there is no acceptable peace partner because Israel dreads peace, and when there is a partner whoever it might be (any warm body will do) the terms become intolerable - and these terms are embraced by the supposed "neutral" United States as the said "impartial broker" and it's European allies. It is an absurd seesaw which remains as the only game in town.
If it is not the ridiculous accusation of the supposed Palestinian leader who is rejected out of hand as a "terrorist," while Israel practices the same terrorism - it is you must recognize Israel as she exists today, embrace all of the previous agreements which have been extracted from a former corrupt Palestinian leadership, and totally disarm.
In other words recognize Israel in all of her acts and current illegal usurpation of the Palestinian territory, accept previous agreements like Israeli duty to "keep law and order" in the occupied territories (as one example), disarm yourself (Palestinians) while you are indiscriminately attacked daily, with NO similar demands upon Israel, and other such complete nonsense which leads to nothing but the further demise of the Palestinian people!
So stop all of the fake photo opts, it is time to remove the United States as the "impartial" broker, and the allies of the developed world as the cheerleaders of the sick game. It is time to replace these disingenuous intermediaries with countries that have recognized and voted for the real peace process that recognizes UN resolution 242 and 181, the Palestinian right of return, and the unmolested independent state sovereignty of the Palestinian people turly enacted and jealously protected. It is time to move from mere rhetorical condemnation (indeed, way past time) to solid action.
 The first and foremost reason why the Palestinians cannot achieve independence is because of Israeli oppression - if it cannot reach the minimum requirement for statehood than the impediment MUST be removed. The Palestinians cannot achieve effective government control when their duly elected leaders are not recognized, and the Israeli Zionists go so far as to kidnap and assassinate them!
They cannot engage freely in foreign relations because they are hemmed in and restricted by an illegal occupation. How can they establish control over a population when they are curfewed to death, their forces are compromised by movement, and they are crippled by design? It is impossible to establish the basic criteria of Statehood under these conditions - therefore there must be concentration on removing the purposeful Israeli impediment! When this is not addressed by those who are supposed to be "independent peace brokers" and the status quo remains it is doomed to nothing but "predetermined" failure.
So back to my original premise, it is time for these nations which have voted against the injustice against the Palestinian to people to make an end run around the hegemonic game of the peace process. It is time for the majority to step out of their UN nest of comfort and DEMAND that other players enter the fray of this not negotiation, but FULL PUBLIC RECOGNITION and active participation in the Palestinian nation. To denounce the disingenuous process of the ethnic cleansing, and eventual national genocide of the Palestinian people - because this is the end result of the current course if it is not stopped.
So I PETITION the nations who feign sympathy by the UN vote to step outside the self-imposed bounds of hegemonic control, from beneath the tyranny of economic threat and slavery. Do this en mass, the faltering empire cannot disown all, and cannot afford to appear further unrighteous in such a acute cause.
I PLEAD with those countries which suffered under the cruel yoke of colonial and neo-colonialism in the name of humanity, by everything that is just and true FREE PALESTINE! If I were a man of God, as Romero was, I would COMMAND you in the name of the Almighty to act swiftly and decisively to free Palestine. We have nothing to lose but our subjugation to an unjust empire, and we have a new independent and sovereign nation of Palestine to gain and the peace that will ensue.

"The mark of Cain won't sprout
from a soldier who shoots
at the head of a child
on a knoll by the fence
around a refugee camp--
for beneath his helmet,
conceptually speaking,
his head is made of cardboard.
On the other hand,
the officer has read The Rebel;
his head is enlightened,
and so he does not believe
in the mark of Cain.
He's spent time in museums,
and when he aims
his rifle at a boy
as an ambassador of Culture,
he updates and recycles
Goya's etchings
and Guernica."
