A global rise to recognize the Palestinian state; Israeli regime isolation intensification – Mehr News Agency | Iranian and world news

Mehr News Agency, International Group: Australia is the last country of Group Eight to promise to recognize independent Palestine, but long before the Western capitals came up, the identification of Palestine across India, Indonesia, South Africa and much of Latin America resonated; An act that was formed in the form of a common emotion of justice and rooted in anti -colonial solidarity.

At the UN General Assembly, which is planned for September, Australia, France, Britain and Canada intend to formally recognize Palestine as a government; The action they announced last July. Of these four countries, France is the only country that seems to have been committed to taking this step without any restraint. In contrast, Australia, Britain and Canada have only spoken of possible and conditional recognition.

Some have described these steps as important steps to revise the two -way solution for the Zionist and Palestinian regime, especially given that France and Britain are permanent members of the UN Security Council. However, another group has described the declarations as “very little, too late.”

In defending the decision, the French government described it as: “This is a call to all nations and countries in the world. Play your role in the peace building. Join the irreversible movement we have begun. “

At this critical juncture, it is important to remember that the majority of nations and countries around the world, more than 5 countries, have previously accepted this call. In fact, history shows us that the leaders and nations of the post -colonial era have been seemingly endless in support of a fair and sustainable solution for this disaster. In this regard, France’s acknowledgment that depriving a nation of the right to self -determination, though a little late, inevitably leads to anger, violence and war is a welcome. Reminding the historical context of this moment helps us to better understand the link between Palestinian efforts in the pursuit of autonomy and long history of anti -colonial and anti -racism struggles.

In June, even before India was released from British colonialism, Jewel Al -Nahro, who later appointed the first prime minister of the country, wrote a letter to Albert Einstein, condemning Nazi German actions and policies. At the same time, Nahro emphasized the Palestinian suffering and warned that the attempt to extend their domination “would not only lead to resolution, but it will continue to conflict.” His warning was ignored by the powerful Western countries at the time.

At the same time, with the independence of more countries from European colonial domination, they also considered the fair resolution of the Palestinian issue to be a fundamental necessity for the establishment of a more fair and more fair order in the post -colonial era. The following statement included in the Asian-African Conference in Bandung, where delegations from five Asian and African countries came together:

“Given the tensions of the Palestinian situation in the Middle East and the danger of this tension for world peace, the Asian-African conference expressed its support for the Palestinian Arab people’s rights and called for the implementation of UN resolutions on Palestine and a peaceful solution to the Palestinian issue.”

The Bandung conference founded the Non -Aligned Movement; A movement that has repeatedly issued statements in support of Palestine in the international community. The African Unity Organization, which became the African Union in 2008, has repeatedly defended Palestine and compared most of the repressive policies of South African regimes and the Zionist regime.

After Yasser Arafat, the head of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, declared Palestine as an independent state in 2008, a number of Asian and African countries, including Cuba and Nicaragua, recognized it as an independent state. In year 2, several Latin American countries, including Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Ecuador, also expanded the identification. Sweden was the first Western European country to recognize Palestine as a government in the past year, and in recent years a handful of other countries, including Slovenia, Spain, Ireland and Norway, joined the process.

Apartheid crime

Since 2008, South Africa has emerged as a sustainable supporter of Palestine and critic of the Zionist regime’s repressive policies. South African anti -apartheid activists have long witnessed the conflict between oppression suffered by a white majority government and the European Jewish struggles against fascism and racial prejudice; They have also referred to the similarities between the Zionist regime and the South African racist regime they had fought. For this reason, one of the earliest actions of the South African government in the post -apartheid period was to recognize Palestine in year 2. In year 3, Desmond Tutu, the Archbishop of the Azam, published an article entitled “Apartheid in the Holy Land”. In this article, he described the similarities between the South African apartheid regime and the Zionist regime’s policies. In his speech at the biennial meeting of the General Assembly of the Church of Presidential, Tutu once again repeated his views that were expressed in the same moral clarity; The same character that made him a global voice of hope:

“I know that the Zionist regime has created an apartheid reality within its borders and through occupation. The similarities with my beloved South Africa are really painful … The stubbornness of the Zionist regime’s leaders can only lead to disaster in residence and grasp the land that does not belong to them. “

The Apartheid Convention, which was approved by the UN General Assembly in 2008, specifically consolidated apartheid for the international community as a crime. Subsequently, the Rome Statute in the International Criminal Court in 2008 endorsed apartheid as a crime against humanity. Human Rights Watch presented an evidence in a comprehensive report in the year that the Palestinians have been deprived and dominated by their land because of their identity; And in some cases, these deprivations are so severe that they are considered as crimes against humanity, namely apartheid and persecution. The important point is that the report does not compare the Zionist regime with South Africa under apartheid, but rather the Zionist regime’s actions that pass the threshold of apartheid in international law.

Turning point; What will happen below?

Today, we are again in a turning point. The crime of genocide must now be added to the apartheid crime. South Africa remains the first country that has attracted the attention of the world to both of these crimes against humanity by the Zionist regime. Other southern countries have long supported Palestine, but have failed to change the field realities of the region. In the midst of the current crimes in Gaza, the West Bank and the Zionist regime, we may ask ourselves: “What is new about France, Britain, Australia and Canada that are now thinking of recognizing the Palestinian state? What can this make a tangible difference? “

These symbols, though symbolic, show that the actions, decisions, and words of the Zionist regime are no longer acceptable to the international community, even among its historical allies. This lack of international legitimacy must stop the Zionist regime.

The following remarks from Nelson Mandela, which was made in year 2, are as true today as it was at the time.

“In our circumstances, it is temptation to talk about issues such as the right of the Palestinian people to have an independent government, in a silent and cautious tone. However, if we do, we will be less than humans. The effort for brotherhood and human equality – regardless of race or religion – must be at the center of our peaceful efforts. The choice between freedom and justice on the one hand and the opposite of them, namely peace and prosperity, on the other is not; Relaxation and security can only benefit from it without discrimination. We know well that freedom (South Africa) is incomplete without the freedom of Palestinians; Without resolving disputes in East Timur, Sudan and elsewhere in the world. Security for any nation is neither abstract nor exclusive. Security depends on the security of others and to respect and mutual trust. Therefore, by extending our hands farther away from the Palestinian people, we are fully aware that we are part of humanity that is united. “

It is difficult to predict what will happen at next month’s meetings of the UN General Assembly. It is possible that Australia, France, Britain and Canada – if not certain – are formally recognized by Palestine. This may not change the current situation of Palestine in the UN; Because recognizing independent Palestinian and sovereignty, as a supervisory state, will automatically require a full -time membership of the United Nations. The United States will not agree to recognize the Palestinian government with its veto in the Security Council. It is still unclear how this Western move could stop the Zionist regime’s current attacks on Palestine.

However, what is certain is that the majority of UN members at this year’s General Assembly, as they have repeatedly stated in previous meetings, will express their opposition to the Zionist regime’s dominance over the Palestinian people.

However, it is unlikely that the Zionist regime will be affected by these requests at least for now. At the same time, the continued stubbornness of the Zionist regime against the increase in global condemnation in the light of its actions, even among its closest allies, is unacceptable. Just as international pressure on the South African government helped the end of the apartheid regime, global public opinion must continue to exert pressure on the Zionist regime.
