As of June 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 146 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 75% of all UN members.[1][2][3] It has been a non-member observer state of the United Nations General Assembly since November 2012.[4][5] This limited status is largely due to the fact that the United States, a permanent member of the UN Security Council with veto power, has consistently used its veto or threatened to do so to block Palestine's full UN membership.[6][7]
It seems that all Presidential Adminstrations have claimed to support a “two-state solution between Palestine and Israel.” But how can they claim to support a two-state solution if they won’t recognize Palestine as a Nation?
The United States was the first Nation in the World to recognize Israel. On May 14, 1948, the Balfour Declaration expired which had granted the rule of Palestine to Britain. President Truman recognized Israel as an independent Jewish state 11 minutes after the Balfour Declaration expired.

This means that Palestinians do not have the right to defend themselves in the eyes of the Department of State, because Palestine is not recognized by the United States as a Nation.
What rights do the Palestinians have? They have the right to be bombed to death with arms provided to Israel by the United States, killing tens of thousands indiscriminately, and perhaps hundreds of thousands.
Netanyahu is currently bombing the remaining non-Jewish, semetic people to death, and plans mega projects of oil, real estate, and electric car factories afterwards with the likes of Saudi Arabia and Elon Musk.
Palestinians are not allowed to be citizens in Israel, according to Benjamin Netanyahu.
In the course of his spat with model and actress Rotem Sela, Netanyahu stressed that Israel is “not a nation-state of all its citizens,” but rather “the nation-state of the Jewish people.”
“What is the problem with the Arabs???” 35-year-old model and actress Sela had written on Instagram. “Dear god, there are also Arab citizens in this country. When the hell will someone in this government convey to the public that Israel is a state of all its citizens and that all people were created equal…”
Netanyahu shot back on his own Instagram account: “Dear Rotem, an important correction: Israel is not a state of all its citizens. According to the nation-state law we passed, Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people — and not anyone else.”
What an interesting concept from Sela, “that all people were created equal.” I wonder where she got that from? Obviously the Congress of the United States does not agree with the concept, otherwise they would not fund the Apartheid State and send it arms to use to conduct Genocide against non-Jewish people.
“The Israeli authorities are using sophisticated surveillance tools to supercharge segregation and automate apartheid against Palestinians. In the H2 area of Hebron, we documented how a new facial recognition system called Red Wolf is reinforcing draconian restrictions on Palestinians’ freedom of movement, using illegitimately acquired biometric data to monitor and control Palestinians’ movements around the city,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.
“Palestinian residents of occupied East Jerusalem and Hebron told us how omnipresent surveillance cameras have invaded their privacy, repressed activism, eroded social life, and left them feeling constantly exposed. In addition to the constant threat of excessive physical force and arbitrary arrest, Palestinians must now contend with the risk of being tracked by an algorithm, or barred from entering their own neighbourhoods based on information stored in discriminatory surveillance databases. This is the latest illustration of why facial recognition technology, when used for surveillance, is incompatible with human rights.”
Again of course, Palestine is not a nation either, according to the United States or the world’s newest incarnation of Adolph Hitler, Benjamin Netanyahu.
“There is no such thing as a Palestinian nation. There is no Palestinian history. There is no Palestinian language,” (Netanyahu) said in France late Sunday. He spoke at a lectern draped with what appeared to be an image showing the map of Israel that included the occupied West Bank, Gaza and Jordan.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said Smotrich’s remarks were “conclusive evidence of the extremist, racist Zionist ideology that governs the parties of the current Israeli government.”
JFK called for a two-state solution to the region in 1939 in a letter to his father.
As the British interest must and will be naturally safeguarded, and bearing in mind the pressure that has been given privately by the Arab states and publicly by the various Jewish organizations to the press and radio, it seems to me that the only thing to do will be to break the country up into two autonomous districts giving them both self-government to the extent that they do not interfere with each other and that British interest is safeguarded. Jerusalem, having the background that it has, should be an independent unit. Though this is a difficult solution yet, it is the only one that I think can work
He said the Balfour Declaration was vague as to territory.
The terms in the MacMahon letters guaranteeing an independent Arabic state were quite vague and the territorial delineation was equally vague. The Balfour declaration was also indefinite, giving with one hand what he took back with the other.
He said the Jews were arrogant and uncompromising.
The sympathy of the people on the spot seems to be with the Arabs. This is not only because the Jews have had, at least some of their leaders, an unfortunately arrogant, uncompromising attitude, but they feel that after all, the country has been Arabic for the last few hundred years, and they naturally feel sympathic. After all, Palestine was hardly Britain’s to give away.
He said the Jews wished to “dominate” the Arabs.
On the Jewish side there is the desire for complete domination, with Jerusalem as the capital of their new land of milk and honey, with the right colonize in Trans-Jordan.
He spoke of “Jewish terrorists” bombing their own “quarters.”
There were 13 bombs set off my last evening there, all in the Jewish quarter and all set off by Jews. The ironical part is that the Jewish terrorists bomb their own telephone lines and electric connections and the next day frantically phone the British to come and fix them up.
Once again, I reassert that Israel should be demilitarized; that Israel should be forced back into the boundaries of original United Nations partition; that Palestine should be recognized as an independent Nation by the United States; and that Israel’s war criminals including Netanyahu, Gallant, and the rest of the Genocidal leadership of Israel should be turned over to the independent Nation of Palestine for prosecution.

America is becoming a despised nation throughout the world for supporting terrorists. This is very bad for this country. The globalists use the US for their purposes, to fund and supply their military and terrorist operations, and eventually make a scapegoat of the country, as Germany was following WWII.
Biden said he wants a cease fire and his White House said the US will do everything to back Israel. I think that is a deep state coup d'etat.
