Hariri calls for Arab support for Palestinian bid, praises Abbas’ UN speech

Lebanon’s Opposition leader Saad Hariri praised Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ address to the UN General Assembly on Saturday , in which he urged UN members to back his bid to admit Palestine as a full UN member state.

“The speech sought to uncover Israel’s aggressive intentions to reject all peace talks’ efforts, and at the same time showed the openness of the Palestinian authority and its insistence on wanting peace,” Hariri said in a statement

He added that “Arab support and solidarity with Palestine must “on political and diplomatic levels in order to accomplish the formation of a capable State of Palestine.”

Abbas on Friday urged United Nations members to back his bid to admit Palestine as a full member state based on the borders on June 4, 1967 the day before the Six-Day War with Israel.

The UN Security Council will meet Monday afternoon to discuss a request by the Palestinians to admit the state of Palestine as a full UN member, the council’s current president, Lebanon’s ambassador to the United Nations, Nawaf Salam, told reporters on Friday.

    I assume he prefers ‘talk’ instead of the guns …. or bombs … but it’s a good way to get them out of Lebanon too. ;-)

    A logical step for ‘right thinkers’.  Long, long overdue, into their rightful homeland.

        At least the ones that have roots in Palestine(where the Jews are, now) should get to go back there.  It’s the Palestinian’s homeland.

        ‘Get to go back’ Patience?
           I have a dream … one day Nasrallahhaha stands in front of the black-shrouded masses, and says:
        “Ok Folks. Time to drop the weapons and go … pick up your beds and walk with me.”
          Then he notes some confusion in the crowd …. hears a few grumbles …
        “Errr … ok. ok … show of hands. Who wants to go and build houses in various parts of Palestine? The Levant is now open to us. Do you know how hard we worked for this day? It’s time to go.” (Silence) “COME ON people … only a few years of hauling cement and stones !! And it’s all yours!!”
          Women begin to wail … some of the crowd are sneaking out of the area … a murmur grows through the crowd …
        “Now listen! If you don’t start following me, I am going to be really upset. GUARD! Pick up your guns … we have to get these people moving.!!! ”
          Mass exodus back to south-Leb apartments. Nasrallah and his troops begin a slow march into the wasteland …

        But yes. Every one in the world says the Jews should give back the land, but my ?? is why no body say to Jordan to give back the land that was part of Palestine, why??
