Palestine recognition is great. Now it's time for action.

The two-state solution is on life support. Israel's genocide in Gaza and its relentless building of settlements in the West Bank are actively destroying the viability of a Palestinian state.

One last chance, before the sun sets on a Palestinian State

In 1947, the world's nations came together to propose the partition of Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states. One happened, the other did not. When they meet, will they right that wrong?

Israel ramps up its 'war' on the United Nations

Israel's UNRWA ban further cements its disregard for the world governing body and its resolutions. Like apartheid South Africa, Israel should be suspended from the General Assembly.
