Palestine and Priorities

Palestine has been forced to follow the rules and laws of Israel for a long time. This includes military occupations, segregation, blockades and other violations of, what some may consider, basic human rights. An upcoming player in Palestinian politics is Husam Zomlot, of the Fatah Movement, who is trying to generate support in creating a place where the human rights violations will not stand. He hopes to accomplish this with some aid internationally, but hopes to use the people of Palestine to stand up.

In the past one of the biggest issues have been conflicts with international parties, such as the United States, trying to mediate the process. By creating a safe place for citizens, free of military occupation and other violations, a democracy can begin to be developed with the backing of the international parties. One of the key factors Zomlot hopes to help people understand is the need to push ahead with democracy and state recognition regardless of international support.

This is an interesting development, one that if it gets enough backing, that could turn into a large push for Palestine state recognition.
