Men att Palestina nu tar klivet från observatörsstatus till icke-medlem är en viktig markering. Hur det nu kan vara något bra att bli "icke-medlem". Det kommer dock att firas rejält i Palestina. På en god väns facebook-sida läste jag följande program:
Today in Palestine: Popular Activities in Palestine Marking UN Vote Ramallah’s popular events: 11:00 AM: UN vote celebrations, traditional dancing, national songs by “Al-Hanoneh” and “Fononiat" folklore bands, at Yaser Arafat’s Square 12:00: Political speeches (at Yasser Arafat Square) • Ramallah Governor's speech (Representing H.E President Mahmoud Abbas) • Speech by Senior Hamas Leader • Spe ech by Senior Islamic Jihad Leader • Speech by Senior Fatah Leader • Speech by Senior PFLP Leaders Kdec6:30 pm: Scouts bands marching from the Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Family (Al Ahliyya College), towards Yasser Arafat Square. Popular Events around Palestine: 11:00 AM • Beit Jala: 4000 Palestinian students will march from Talita Kumi School (Lutheran School) to the city center to deliver a book they have prepared reminding US President Barack Obama (The book will be sent to the White house). • Al Khalil (Hebron) – Popular Festival at Hebron Governorate • Nablus – Popular Festival at Martyr’s Square • Jenin – Popular Festival at Central Square • Qalqilia – March from Abu Ali Iyad Square towards the Governorate. • Tulkarem – March from Jamal Abdel Nasser Square towards the Red Cross • Bethlehem – Scouts bands will march from the Arab Bank to the Nativity Square – Festivities with Palestinian folklore at Nativity Square. • Jericho and Jordan Valley – Popular Festival at Central Square. • Salfeet: Popular demonstrantion from Independence’s Square (Al Istiqlal) to the Governorate at Peace Street (Salam Street). • Jerusalem: Activities to be announced on due time. • Gaza Strip: Events programmed during the whole day by Palestine Liberation Organization. 16:00 PM • Beit Sahour – Scout bands will march around the city (16:00 PM). 18:00 PM • Jericho: Palestinian military bands will perform Patriotic songs. 21:00 • Screens will be available in every city to watch the President’s Speech. • Bethlehem: Thousands of people are expected to wait for President Abbas speech to be projected at the Illegal Israeli Wall built in the city (Rachel Tomb/Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque Area). . 00:00 • Churches all over Palestine will ring their bells at midnight marking the vote.Inte minst det sista är viktigt: Låt oss inte glömma de kristna palestierna. De är inte många och riskerar att bli färre och färre. Jag skulle velat vara där någonstans i natt och höra alla kyrkklockor ringa. Jag tror att de ringer för fred. Fred mellan Israel och Palestina. Fred mellan kristna, judar och muslimer. Såhär några veckor före julnatten. Passande!
