"Mr President, many people in the occupied territories, in the Middle East and around the world have a hope that the vote at the UN will contribute in some way to ending the horrific oppression which the Palestinian people face.
Unfortunately, whichever way the vote goes, their suffering will continue. There have been hundreds of resolutions, many condemning Israeli aggression and resolutions recognising and supporting an independent Palestinian state at the UN. Successive Israeli governments have simply ignored them. What I think is needed to bring about change is mass action, a third intifada by the Palestinian people against the blockade of Gaza, against roadblocks, against the apartheid wall, against incursions by the Israeli army and against the occupation itself. In recent months, there has been a magnificent movement in Israel with young people – working class people – participating in a social movement demanding social justice. 450 000 people demonstrated two weeks ago.
I would put forward that this movement should also take up the question of the oppression of their Palestinian brothers and sisters. Such a development would open up the prospect of forging a powerful alliance of the Palestinian masses and the Israeli workers fighting together against their common enemy, the Israeli establishment, fighting for socialist change in the region, a socialist Israel and a socialist Palestine."@en1
