it may have declared independence and have a government but htat government is held hostage to an occupying force so I am not sure what we would be celbrating?
The palestinian people now have a government that is also occupied?
On November 15, 1988, the independent state of Palestine was proclaimed by the Palestine National Council (PNC) meeting in Algiers. During this meeting the PNC endorsed a two-state solution for the basic conflicts of Palestine. This ’88 proclamation declared Israel as a state.
This is soo funny and sad at the same time. More like if you set it and believe it, repeat it, make a holiday out of it, then it will come true one day.
What independence?? :S Independence fom what/whom?
