Palestinian Flag Raised at United Nations Headquarters for 1st Time in New York City
Facebook ^ | 9/30/15

Posted on 09/30/2015 11:40:12 AM PDT by pabianice

The Palestinian flag was raised at the U.N. in a ceremony attended by President of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas, who said it was "a most emotional and proud day..."

...Speaking to the crowd, Abbas dedicated the ceremony to “the martyrs, the prisoners and the wounded, and to those who gave their lives while trying to raise this flag”.

Hundreds of Palestinians assembled in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, where they watched the flag-raising on a large screen set up in Yasser Arafat Square.

“The mood is festive,” reported Al Jazeera’s Imtiaz Tyab, adding that “families sang along to nationalistic songs and waved the Palestinian flag”.

Having been strongly criticised by Israel, the move was also opposed by the United States.

Israel should has settled in Nevada after WW-II with all the crap they have had to put up with in the middle east.

It depends on who you ask. If you ask a Mooselimb, they'll point to Israel.

A big group of hipsters wearing Che Guevara shirts tried to applaud but they couldn’t because they had an IPad in one hand and Starbucks in the other.

OK, is it just me, or has the pace of “change” seemed to increase in frequency recently? The next POTUS will have his hands full, to put it mildly.

“Israel should has settled in Nevada after WW-II with all the crap they have had to put up with in the middle east.

Israel has settled exactly where she should be in her own land. The fake palestinians and their supporters that go against God’s plans for this nation soon won’t be around.

(Ezekiel 37:21) And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

(Ezekiel 37:22) And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

(Ezekiel 37:23) Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

(Ezekiel 37:24) And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

And people who dare call themselves Christians and want to give this land (Biblical Judea and Sumeria ) should realize that it is dangerous to appose God and not be in his will. David my servant who is going to be king over them is none other than the Messiah himself and that means HE WANTS THEM THERE .

(Joel 3:2) I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
