The UN Assembly, nottheUN Security Council (UNSC), hasdesignate Palestine the non-member spectator state, that is the same standing accorded to the Vatican.
UnliketheUN General Assembly, the UNSC is where 5 strange nuclear-power nations (USA, Russia, China, France as well as Britain) have halt powers. It's also where the USA has repetitively misused this halt powers to halt UNSC resolutions against Israel, by some-more than 140 times since 1972.
It has been reported that the USA had, during theperiodbetween 1972 as well as 2001, (mis)used the halt power in the UNSC the humongous 39 times to block resolutions vicious of Israeli policies in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, some-more than all the alternative 4 countries with halt powers have used their halt upon all alternative issues combined.
But withdrawal in reserve the predictable USA, the destroyed politico-religious slave to Israeli interests, the abstention of Australia has been the watershed decision in the Australian-USA-Israeli relationship.
Australia is like the USA, tied by domestic fondness as well as devotion to unfamiliar countries like the USA as well as Israel. The Israeli lobby ! in Austr alia is utterly absolute though some-more pointed than the American counterparts. But it's still too absolute to be abandoned or to provoke in the eyes of Australian categorical domestic leaders
Julia GillardMany had likely (quite correctly so) that Australia would AUTOMATICALLY side with the USA as well as Israel to object to UN Assembly approval of Palestine. But PM Julia Gillard had to abandon her politically-natural intentions to do so when the Labor Party congress (top party council) revolted against that plan! .
The Labor Party congress as well as indeed membership have been sympathetic to the predicament of the oppressed Palestinians.
It's the wonderful decision, the 1st step in the rightdirection as well as we energetically awaittheday when Australia will move beyond mere abstention as well as actually opinion FORthefull approval of Palestine as the UN part of state.
