Hands off Palestine

The UN’s recognition of a Palestinian State is the latest validation of those who so far had “imaginary homelands” as Homi Bhaba would put it. The jubilation of thousands of Palestinians upon the vote is mass public victory and huge defeat for imperial nations such as the US and of course for Israel. The “insider’s” victory may not exactly be that of the “outsider's”. Nevertheless, obviously, the UN’s decision would be a turning point for the making of Palestine’s future history.
