I apologise if you have already had this message from Dr Anati who I met at your meeting in the Smith Gallery in March this year. It is such a powerful message to complement the occasion we shared last night, and well worth scrolling down to the bottom to witness one of the first changes...
Best wishes,
Rosie

Our message of peace is a call to action, for other ordinary people like ourselves, not to hand over your lives to whatever puppeteer is in charge this time round, but to take responsibility for the revolution. First, the inner revolution -- to give love, to give empathy; It is this that will change the world. -- Vittorio Arrigoni

The real heart deep down doesn't only stand up for what's right but also helps others to learn to stand up for what's right. -- Mary Alfar (age 11)

WE ARE  FROM PALESTINE 
 



Our voice is much louder than the US vito 

We Palestinians have succeeded in drawing a new image of freedom, self respect and dignity, despite all the crimes committed by the Israeli zionist occupation against us. our Voice during the pillar of clouds and after the vote on the resolution to recognize the state of Palestine was louder and bigger than the voice of the U.S. Veto. our voice was booming and the echoes of our voice were heard in the whole world. 
Palestine won.
And we have proven to the world that existence is resistance. 
We have proven that we fought, are still fighting and we will be fighting for freedom. we will be fighting until palestine is totaly free. 
We have proven that we have a just cause that can not be ignored or disregarded. 
We have proven that we are born set and ready; our motto is forever "either victory and living free or die fighting for dignity".

We have celebrated the victory of Hamas, Islamic Jehad, PFLP, DFLP and the steadfastness of people of Gaza after the piller of clouds operation and Today is day we celebrate the birth of the palestinian state.. 
Today I can say I am from the state of palestine.
Today I can tell all countries of the world to stand before their responsiblities
Today I want to tell you that I am happy and most of palestinians in Gaza, west bank and the diaspora are happy. 
Today I was looking at a picture that shows the face of the israeli delegate to the United Nations after the vote in favour of palestine shows it all.
It shows how much trouble israel is in.
it shows that the israeli occupation is in its way for an end. 
It shows that israel is helpless and it shows that its not the strong power any more 
Today I saw the face of the american delegate too and it shows that the US couldn't influence the world to support israel,
It shows a huge frustration.
It shows that the US lost a battle and couldn't confront the occupied state of palestine.. 
It shows that we've won, It shows that PALESTINE has won.

We have criticize President Abbas harshly before the vote on Palestine as a non-member state but today we say Bravo Abbas and thank you ..

Some may wonder why we criticized Abbas and why we support him today? ,
We have criticized Abbas
because he never knew what the people of Palestine wanted from him 
because his speeches were always messages directed to the international community or to the occupation entity .. 
because he has never addressed us as the people of Palestine in any of his speeches in the times we desperately needed our leadership
Because he was always talking about negotiations and begging a peace from Israel while israel was Confiscating land, building settlements, killing Gazans , arresting West Bankers, practicing ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem, torturing prisoners, stealing water, preventing fishermen from fishing, forbidding farmers from farming, not allowing students to go to thier school and 
playing with the cause of palestine as it pleases
because he did not make enough efforts to unify Palestinian factions 
and because he has never set a mechanism to confront the Israeli occupation and prevent the crimes comitted against the people.

but today we support him!
We support him because he he realized that what he was doing was wrong and that the solution is not in Israel or the United States, but in Palestine. 
We support him because he knows that unity is the solution
We Support him because for the first time his speech was adopting the position of the people palestine and not a position he's asked by the united states to adopt.
We support him because he'll unite palestinians and visit Gaza soon
We support him because in his speech he spoke about the suffering of Palestinians everywhere 
because he spoke about settlements in the West Bank and the prisoners in the israeli jails
because he spoke about massacres comitted by israel in Gaza 
because he spoke about the 11 members of Al Dalo family which Israeli f16s have killed in cold blood
we support Mahmoud abbas who dissappointed us for a long time but at the end managed to grab the most important document in the history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict 
we Support him because he walked the first step in the path of a thousand miles to get to the Palestinian dream and because he gave us hope after an extended period of frustration.. 
We support him because he was a REAL palestinian.

If you are wondering why the vast majority of Palestinians supported the PA's step of going to the UN
Palestine is now can be part of international collective treaties
Palestine has the right to be a member International Criminal Court
Palestine can sue Israel for war crimes committed against Palestinians
Palestine can now be a member of the 15 UN organizations such as FAO and the World Health Organization.
Palestine can now go to the International Court of Justice in The Hague and charge israel for the apparthied wall and the settlements of the west bank and jerusalem.
The step of going to the United Nations was an alternative for the long lasted negotiations, that was used by israel to build settlements and committ crimes against palestinians.
All of the land, buildings, settlements, streets and projects within the 67 borders are now recognized by the world as Palestinian lands occupied by Israel

What will happen after the recognition?
The Palestinian leadership will be under unprecedented pressure to prevent them from exercising their right of going the International Criminal Court to sue the leaders of the occupation.
.Israel will exercise a vicious economic blockade on Gaza and the West Bank
The israel far-right wings will be elected and Israel will intensify its settlement activities and crimes will continue.

What should be done?
Hamas, Fatah, PFLP, Islamic Jihad, DFLP and all the palestinian factions must be united because 
the battle with Israel have just begun
Those who look at the situation from narrow political interests should wake up and put their hands with the hands of the majority of palestinians so we can all fight together for palestine.. I am a refugee and I will return and no one in the world can take that right away from me. And those who say that we have only 22 percent of the land, I want to tell you that we had nothing before and we have nothing yet and lets fight to get what we can get. palestine-israel conflict will last until the end of life because zionists don't want peace and will never want peace.. so lets all take the chance and celebrate this victory and get prepared for the next battle.

we need all activists and supporters of the Palestinian just cause to intensify their activities and fight to free palestine as palestine has freed all the countries of the world from being slaves to the American decision.

Our voice is much louder than the US vito 

We Palestinians have succeeded in drawing a new image of freedom, self respect and dignity, despite all the crimes c.
