Chào qu‎ý anh chị, Hàng triệu người dân Palestine đang chờ đợi ngày lịch sử của dân tộc. Sau đệ Nhị Thế chiến, họ đã bị đế quốc Anh chia cắt lãnh thổ. Sau hơn nửa thế kỷ họ đang trông chờ Hoa kỳ không dùng quyền phủ quyết để chối bỏ sự công nhận quốc tế chính thức một lãnh thổ   Palestine . Chắc Palestine còn phải phụ thuộc Israel nên chỉ được công nhận "statehood", thay vì "nationhood" ?   Xin mời qu‎ý anh chị  tham khảo thêm phần tin từ Úc & ý kiến của cựu ngọai trưởng Úc Gareth Evans mong muốn thủ tướng Julia Gillard bỏ phiếu chấp nhận. Mr Evans claimed a change of direction on the Israel-Palestine conflict would be of huge benefit to the West in relations with the Islamic world and said accepting a Palestinian state ''once and for all'' would bolster Israel's security. ''Israel should treat the UN vote as an opportunity for a new start to negotiations, rather than an excuse for renewed confrontation,'' he wrote in a syndicated article published yesterday in newspapers around the world.   Kính chúc quý anh chị ngày cuối tuần vui vẻ & hạnh phúc. Quí Nguyễn     Palestinians knock on history's door but find Washington still holds the keys Paul McGeough, New York September 24, 2011 Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/world/palestinians-knock-on-historys-door-but-find-washington-still-holds-the-keys-20110923-1kpgh.html#ixzz1Yp49g1aj       Thousands of Palestinians attend a demonstration in the West Bank city of Ramallah in support of their hopes for statehood recognition at the United Nations.   THE towering UN headquarters, on the banks of New York's East River, was caught in the eye of a storm early today with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas set to make his pitch for statehood and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expected to quickly reject it. After addressing the General Assembly, Abbas was to submit a historic request to the UN to admit a Palestinian member state, handing over a formal application to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. For all Abbas's and Netanyahu's passion, there was not a lot new that either leader could say. And there was never a real chance of a climactic Security Council vote on the issue today.   They have been buying time in the Middle East for decades. The diplomatic head-butting that preceded the leaders' presentations will certainly go on before a vote in the days or, more probably, weeks and months ahead.  Meanwhile, the US and others will try to breathe new life into the collapsed peace process.   Early in the week, Palestinian officials told reporters they had the support of nine countries. But yesterday they said Portugal had succumbed to US threats to withhold support in financial institutions for its stricken economy; and Bosnia to a move to block Kosovo's admission to the UN. Nigeria, Gabon and Colombia were all said to be under unspecified pressure.   Throughout this week's UN summit, the focus has been less on Netanyahu or Abbas and more on US President Barack Obama, who struggled in his speech to the General Assembly to join the dots between his declared intention to use Washington's veto power to shoot down the Palestinian statehood bid and his championing of this year's revolts across the Middle East and North Africa.   In a recent report one of the most regular chroniclers of the crisis, the International Crisis Group, spared none of the players in apportioning blame. "Plagued by ignorance, internal divisions and brinkmanship," the Palestinian leadership, it says, had oversold what might be achieved at the UN in a bid to prevent further erosion of its domestic credibility. The ICG said Israel was over-dramatising the impact of UN recognition.   "The US administration, unable to steer events, fed up with both sides and facing a Congress that will inflict a price for any Palestinian move at the UN, just wants the whole thing to go away," the report added. And when Washington dispatched senior diplomats in a bid to persuade the Palestinians to abandon the push for statehood in favour of fresh talks, a statement reportedly drafted mainly by former British prime minister Tony Blair as a basis for those talks offended Palestinian negotiators. Nabil Shaath, a former Palestinian foreign minister, said the statement violated six of the pre-existing parameters of the peace process. These included acceptance of the continued growth of Israeli settlements; calling Israel a ''Jewish state''; pre-empting further discussion of the right of Palestinian refugees to return to Israel; and rejecting attempts to unify the rival Palestinian parties, Hamas and Fatah.   Explaining the Palestinians' final decision to go to the Security Council despite the possibility that Washington would exercise its veto, Shaath told reporters: "I think that [the statement] was the final blow, the final straw." The US, according to Shaath, was ''not a neutral observer, but a strategic ally of Israel''; and Blair, he said, ''sounded very much like an Israeli diplomat''. With France leading a European charge to take control of the conflict from the US and a rancorous American domestic political debate on which party is the best friend of Israel, former Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy observed this week: "The US cannot lead on an issue that it is so boxed in on by its domestic politics and therefore, with the region in such rapid upheaval and the two-state solution dying, as long as the US is paralysed, others are going to have to step up."   Abbas is the butt of much criticism from Palestinians. But on Thursday Diana Buttu, a former Palestinian negotiator who has often taken him to task, spoke well of the Palestinian leader's determination to go to the UN Security Council. ''Is this a coup for Abbas? Yes,'' she told The Guardian. ''This is the first time since 1974 that Palestine has been able to capture international attention at the United Nations in this way. He's managed to get people discussing whether Palestine should be recognised as a state, whether it should get its independence immediately, how we get there. It's been a brilliant move.''

Mr Evans's intervention comes as Australian officials closely monitor tense manoeuvring in New York over the Palestinian bid in case it moves suddenly to the General Assembly and forces Australia to take a stand. US diplomats are desperate to keep the bid stalled under consideration in the Security Council, saving Washington the need to wield its threatened veto.   But Mr Evans claimed a change of direction on the Israel-Palestine conflict would be of huge benefit to the West in relations with the Islamic world and said accepting a Palestinian state ''once and for all'' would bolster Israel's security. ''Israel should treat the UN vote as an opportunity for a new start to negotiations, rather than an excuse for renewed confrontation,'' he wrote in a syndicated article published yesterday in newspapers around the world.   He said the Palestinians knew perfectly well UN recognition would not by itself end the Israeli occupation or resolve border disputes, but the General Assembly would most likely deliver a strong majority to recognise Palestine as a non-member ''observer state'', similar to the status of the Vatican. He also said the door to negotiations with Hamas - which remains implacably hostile to Israel - should remain open.   Ms Gillard effectively ruled out Australian support for Palestine joining the UN after she told the Labor caucus this week that the vote was not the path to peace. Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd - who is in New York - has recommended Australia abstain in the vote and the government has refused to make its position known until the text of the resolution is public. ''Being on the wrong side of history is never a comfortable position. ''And that is exactly where the US, Israel and its closest friends - including my own country, Australia - will be if they resist the tide of international sentiment in favour of moving now to recognise Palestinian statehood,'' Mr Evans wrote.
