United Nations Unforgotten Authority

For six years the international community has witness the failure of every peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinians. It’s practically impossible for both sides to search for a rational common ground after years of perpetual conflict. The Arab world accuses the United States in being unconditionally pro-Israeli. At the same time, the Arab Summit has historically embarrassed itself by giving Palestinians candles of hope when it lacks the fire to light them up.

It’s a never ending story. Hamas and Islamic Jihad continue to challenge President Mahmoud Abbas political agenda while secretly preparing suicide attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians. After receiving global applause, to certain extent, for removing illegal settlers from Gaza strip, Israel announced their soldiers will stay in the region and will continue to expand illegal settlements in West Bank. Ariel Sharon, at the same time, reaffirms his plans to expand settlements in West Bank to secure the controversial wall that expropriates Arab land from Jerusalem. The Road Map, a peace plan proposed by Washington, appears to have more bumpy roads and dead ends then green lights. Meanwhile, behind all this mutual violence and fruitless peace negotiations, the brutal Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories continues.

So who are the real responsible of this endless blood shed? Those who are fighting in this so called Holy Land or those who have the international recognition to stop it and yet have done nothing? The real “judge” in this case should not be only the United States, but also the United Nations because of its legal resources and historical authority in the region.
