Patriot Update is sending an e-mail alert that the United Nations Security
Council has scheduled next Tuesday, July 26, in New York, for open "debate"
about whether or not they will seize Israeli land in September, and divide
Jerusalem by establishing a Palestinian state, without negotiation or
approval from Israel.
[H/t beloved fellow Tina!]
The same alert is also posted on many blogs, such as Traditional Values
Coalition <http://traditionalvalues.org/content/article/31644>.
**According to the e-mail, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had
feared just such a "surprise" move after the Quartet on the Middle East (UN,
EU, USA, and Russia) met on July 11 in Washington, DC, to endorse Obama's
plan<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/breaking-news-obama-betrays-israel/>(in
his speech of May 19) to enforce Israel's 1967 borders and divide
Jerusalem.
But I cannot find verification of this on the web. Instead, the Seattle PI
reports<http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Quartet-struggles-on-way-forward-for-Mideast-peace-1460528.php>on
July 12, 2011, that the Quartet meeting was a bust:
The "highly-anticipated gathering hosted Monday by Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton and attended by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon,
EU top diplomat Catherine Ashton and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
failed to produce a unified statement on the way ahead."
So I went onto the United Nations' website to find confirmation of the July
26 Security Council meeting. I found a "Programme of Meetings and
Agendas<http://www.un.org/Docs/journal/En/lateste.pdf>"
in the *Journal of the United Nations*. On page 2 of the pdf document is
this:
The Security Council will hold an open debate on Tuesday, 26 July 2011, in
the Security Council Chamber Room GA-TSC-01, in connection with the agenda
item "The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question".
Member states wishing to inscribe their names on the list of speakers should
contact the Secretariat....
Here's a screenshot I took of that announcement:
<http://fellowshipofminds.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/un1.jpg>
Then I went looking for the agenda item and found this document: A
"Statement" made on January 19, 2011, by Mr. Md. Nojibur Rahman, Minister
(Economic) and Charge d’Affaires of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh to
the United Nations at the Security Council Open Debate on the agenda item
“The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question”.
On behalf of Bangladesh, a Muslim country, Rahman said the following:
*"In order to achieve a lasting solution in the Middle East, it is very
important to address the key issue, which is prolong and illegal occupation
of the Arab territories by Israel.... My delegation believes that direct
negotiations will only be successful if there is sustained regional and
international support for...Palestinian State-building...which guarantee
Israel’s withdrawal from all occupied Arab and Palestinian territories back
to June 4, 1967 line.... In conclusion, let me reiterate Bangladesh’s
long-standing position that the continued illegal occupation of Palestine
over the past six decades is the root cause of violence, unrest and
destabilization in the region.*"
So there you have it. Despite the innocuously-worded announcement in the
UN's "Programme of Meetings and
Agendas<http://www.un.org/Docs/journal/En/lateste.pdf>"
of an "open debate" by the Security Council scheduled for July 26, 2011, the
statement by Bangladesh's representative to the United Nations makes clear
the debate agenda* is* about "restoring" Israel to its pre-1967 borders,
also called the Green Line<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Line_%28Israel%29>
.
That, in turn, means Israel must surrender the territories it captured in
the 1967 Six-Day War <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War>, including
the West Bank <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank>, Gaza
Strip<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip>,
Golan Heights <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golan_Heights> and Sinai
Peninsula <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinai_Peninsula> (the latter has
since been returned to Egypt). But the Green Line once divided Jerusalem
into East and West, with the western section within Israel. Annexed by
Jordan in 1948, East Jerusalem
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Jerusalem>includes Jerusalem's Old
City <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_City_%28Jerusalem%29> and some of the
holiest sites of Judaism <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism>,
Christianity <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity>, and
Islam<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam>,
such as the Temple Mount <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Mount>, Western
Wall <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Wall>, Al-Aqsa
Mosque<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Aqsa_Mosque>,
and the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Holy_Sepulchre>
.
<http://fellowshipofminds.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/six_day_war_terrritories_2.png>
Territories held by Israel before and after the Six Day War of 1967
All of which means that returning Israel to its 1967 borders would mean that
Israel not only loses the West Bank -- and with that its defense strategic
depth -- Israel -- and the Christian world -- will also lose Jerusalem to
the new Palestinian Muslim state.
It should be said that the United Nations is decidedly partial on the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and regularly condemns Israel for this or that.
Even if the UN Security Council's "open debate" next Tuesday concludes with
their demand that Israel return to its pre-1967 borders doesn't mean squat.
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride....
