From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Khaya Xaba Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 10:43 AM To: yclsa-eom-forum Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] The YCLSA welcomes the upgrade of Palestine to observer status in the UN YCLSA Press Alert November 30, 2012 The YCLSA welcomes the upgrade of Palestine to observer status in the UN The Young Communist League of South Africa (uFasimba) welcomes the vote by the United Nations General Assembly which affirmed Palestine observer status. Despite the hardline tactics used by Israel and the United States to try prevent the bid, the vote passed with 138 countries for the upgraded status, 41 abstaining from the vote and just 9 against. We are proud that the South African government remains principled on Palestine and voted in favour of the resolution. Palestine will now have the opportunity to partake in international conventions and treaties including the Geneva Convention and the International Criminal Court (ICC). This could have the effect that alleged Israeli war criminals are no longer free from the consequences of international law and justice. We are also aware that Israel has ignored 65 UN resolutions and insists that this historic vote will not change the daily reality for the oppressed people of Palestine. We condemn Israel's intransigence to the contempt it warrants. Last weekend, the YCL national Lekgotla resolved to endorse Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against apartheid Israel. Yesterday's successful bid proves that Palestine and the majority of the world will not be bullied by the United States and Israel and this marks a turning point in the struggle for a free Palestine .The Public Services International (PSI) Congress, as the largest public sector union globally and representing 20 million workers, endorsed BDS against Israel this week. The mass movement against Israel is gaining momentum rapidly and we encourage all people who believe in equality, liberty and justice to be on the right side of history and join this struggle.
