Säkerhetsrådet ska diskutera Palestinas önskan att bli den 194 nationen
24 augusti 2011 09:20
Dear friends,
In 48 hours, the UN Security Council will meet again to
discuss Palestine's bid to become the 194th
country.
Already 700,000 of us have joined the campaign. But we need
more of us to shift key countries to vote in favour.
Avaaz has made a
powerful short video that tells the real story and why this is the best
chance for peace.

get 1 million signers now:
As
violence sparks again and tensions rise in the Middle East, a new proposal
for Palestinian independence is gaining steam across the globe -- if we can
push it through the UN, it could open a new path to peace.
But key
governments are still on the fence and to tip them to support independence
we need to ramp up public pressure. Many people don't feel they understand the
situation well enough to take action. To help, Avaaz has made a new short
video that tells the real story about the conflict. If enough people see it,
sign the petition and forward it to everyone -- our leaders will be forced to
listen.
Almost 10 million of us are receiving this email. Let's
change the conversation about the Middle East and build a tidal wave of support
for Palestinian independence before the UN Security Council meets to discuss
this initiative next week. Click below to watch the video, sign the petition,

While the majority of Palestinian and Israeli people want a solution
to the conflict based on two states, the Israeli extremist government
continues to approve the building of settlements in contested areas -- fueling
hate and bloodshed. Despite repeated efforts, decades of US-led peace talks have
failed to rein-in the peace killers and get an agreement.
Right now, this
independence proposal could be the best chance for years to break the
stalemate, avoid another spiral into violence and level the playing field
between the two parties to favour negotiations.
Last month, the
Palestinians presented their bid at the Security Council. Over 120 countries
support them, but the US rejects the proposal, and is sending a clear
message to its European allies that supporting the legitimate Palestinian bid
will strain bilateral relations. It is now up to us to tell key European leaders
that public opinion is behind this diplomatic non-violent push and that citizen
opinion should influence policy choices, instead of the preferences of the
American government.
Our campaign is exploding across the world -- Almost
700,000 of us joined the call in the first days! It has been on the front page
of major news media, cited at the UN Security Council, and tweeted by the
Palestinian president himself! Now let's make sure it resounds in the ears of
key European leaders whose support is critical. Click below to watch the
video, sign the petition if you haven't yet, and forward this email to everyone
-- let's reach 1 million signers:

There
is much misinformation about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and many of us
feel unsure about getting involved. But this short film lays it out clearly and
can empower us to act. As a nearly 10 million-strong global network in every
country in the world, we have the chance to provoke a vote that could turn the
tide on decades of violence.
With hope,
Alice, Pascal, Emma,
Ricken, David, Rewan, and the Avaaz team
