Palestinian's Statehood Bid

The establishment of the State of Palestine is not an option. But it is a must. Democracy and human rights dictate that. There is no bargaining about it. In fact, globalization becomes the standing partner of independence.
Democracy fighters -- from the United States, the United Kingdom, India, China and Indonesia -- strongly believe that independence is the basic right of every man. All forms of colonization, arbitrary control by one nation over the other and all crimes against humanity must be erased from earth.
Nation's Independence
Everyone in the world is born with a basic right to equal treatment regardless of ethnicity, religion, education, hobby and domicile. World figures such as Prophet Abraham, Prophet Moses, Prophet Jesus, Prophet Mohammad, Aristotle, Abraham Lincoln and even Mother Teresa lived to fight for the important meaning of a nation's independence. Basically, people must be free.
The Palestinian nation deserves it all. No more pleas should be proposed to take side with Israel over Palestine's bid for independence. China and Russia -- two countries known to be undemocratic and repressive - fully support the Palestinian nation's aspiration to be sovereign.
All citizens of the world show full support for Palestine's independence which was fought for on 23 September 2011 at the UN Security Council's meeting, in New York. BBC made polls in 19 countries that showed 49 percent of respondents support the establishment of the State of Palestine. People of China, among those who gave the response, gave their support.
Israeli Government’s Betrayal
Palestine has been tired of being Israel's victim. Palestine has had enough being dictated in negotiations which should have been equal in talking about the issues that are always betrayed by the Israeli Government. They want to advance. They no longer want to talk about being free. They have wanted to discuss borders, state sovereignty, Palestinian nation's pride currency, and the State of Palestine which is a member of the UN and internationally acknowledged.
We are grateful that there are still many citizens and governments of the world that are sane, who give their sympathy for the fulfillment of Palestine's aspiration from being an observer in the UN to being its member. We salute the attention of the world citizens who give democratic support through social networks and blogs to urge the UN to grant Palestine's proposal. Democracy and human rights must be respected in Palestine.
US Attitude
However, we do not see such sympathetic attitude coming from the US Government under the leadership of Barack Obama. As a matter or fact, we still remember Obama's promise during his visit to the West Bank a year ago who wanted to see Palestine as free country, like other countries in the world. This is very ironic considering that the United States has been the global administrator of the spreading of democratization wave all over the world. And in Palestine, Obama still betrays that.
We urge the US not use its veto against the inclusion of Palestine as a UN member. Israel is certainly angry, but the suffering of Palestinian people is more than enough to not be the victim of the prolonged conflict.
We call on the Indonesian Government to play a more active role in supporting the ideal of a free state of Palestine which will have East Jerusalem as its capital city.
