Jeffrey Sachs on why the United Nations should vote for Palestinian statehood | UpFront Web Extra
Marc Lamont Hill discusses Palestinian statehood with Jeffrey Sachs ahead of the UN Security Council vote on membership.
The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to vote Thursday on the Palestinian Authority’s request for full UN membership, which if approved would de facto recognise Palestine as a state. The majority of UN member states already recognise Palestine as a state, and Israel’s war on Gaza has reignited more calls for a two-state solution.
The Israeli government opposes Palestinian sovereignty, but all eyes are on the United States, which could use its veto power to block recognition.
So what can be expected from the UN Security vote on Friday? And could recognition of a Palestinian state bring about an end to the war?
In this UpFront Web Extra, Marc Lamont Hill talks to Columbia University Professor and Special Advisor to the United Nations Jeffrey Sachs about the upcoming UN vote and the future of Palestine.

Listen to the US now, and be patient. They said Palestine have to normalize before it's going to happen, so they obviously said that they intend to support Israel until Palestinians are wiped out 😢 It's exactly what's going on, people are not blind. Understand it's done on purpose to create more chaos and escelate war's, but they have no limits. US said it's Palestinians job to normalize, thought it was Hamas !? They really support Israel with everyone in Gaza is Hamas!? World is watching, they are not blind.

Liberation wars are brutal and often inhumane processes and I know this because my own family paid for my country's liberation in blood, to this day we still suffer from those losses, but we stand firm and proud when the whole country celebrates our liberation hero's----and still, in the spirit of who we are as human beings, we made lasting peace with our former occupying oppressors, even though we still have challenges on a day-to-day basis... Remember this all started with the Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935 in Germany and spread across the occupied and free countries of Europe and Palestinians are merely the victims of this European racial supremacist war of colonial occupation and conquest.....

Professor Sachs well done.History will remember you as been an impartial person
Why not carve a larger independent state of Israel from Germany and ask Jews to move voluntarily to Germany and let the Palestinians live in peace. It was Germany and UK's fault to begin with and most are European Jews anyways. It is a win-win for Israel and West economically, culturally and politically. The Jews that remain will be given Palestinian citizenship.

Why is America always the final vote? If America’s vote is the only one that matters what is the purpose of the pomp and circumstance of the other 192 countries being there I think America’s Veto right to stand alone needs to be taken away
Thank you. It augmented my knowledge.

Palestenians have every right to exist in dignity.

Do the families of the kidnapped people think that he is thinking about their children? From the beginning, he considered them missing.
There is massive undeniable human suffering that we are all bearing witness too. No matter who's at fault, we cannot allow this suffering to persist.
The truth matters always.
Grateful for dialogue. I watched this knowing it was blocked 😐 now I will listen to the proceedings and listen to the absurd reasoning (?)🥧
almost seven months into the conflict, each time I watch the news related to it, I get more and more convinced that all this is by design and not by accident.
in other news bb announced plans for new settlements in Gaza, total $19 million investment. 10/7 and this war its their plan. they don't wants two state solution.

As long as any country has a Veto right, in the UN, it cannot be a Democratic Organisation on any issue. Ironically, a vote to abolish it would be Vetoed.

How can you vote on a place that existed before the UN and the USA
One state solution would never work even with United States and the UN policing There is too much anger on the part of the Arabs and lsrael’s would rather die than give up their upper hand because they have become accustomed to their dominance. The only way is two states solution for their citizens in time it could work out for them.
The two state solution was proposed by UK supported by US. Yet they helped Israel established a state on the area the United Nations had proposed for the Jewish state, as well as almost 60% of the area proposed for the Arab state. Israel probably never wanted a two state solution and wanted all the land. Israel has fought wars with most of its neighbors and even invaded most of them - Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Jordan, Lebanon and even Morocco and Algeria. US and the west probably never really wanted a two state. It is more talk than action like their human rights.
