Article Draft[edit]
On this day every year, the United Nations urges immediate action in an effort to grant Palestinians sovereignty and independence from the Israeli Occupation. As the international community commemorates this day, it continues to call on Israel to provide Palestinians with their human rights according to the UN General Assembly[1].
The General Assembly emphasizes its support of the Palestinians' right to return to their homes, which they have been displaced from in 1948 following the creation of the State of Israel, where more than 760,000 Palestinians became refugees[2]
In 2001, several members and speakers at the United Nations event for the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinians urged the creation of an "International Force in the Occupied Territories to protect the Palestinian people." Several countries including Malta, Turkey, and Bangladesh showed their solidarity with Palestinians to gain sovereignty.[3]
Critics:
In 2018, professor and activist Marc Lamont Hill spoke at the United Nations, expressing his full support for the Palestinian cause[4]. His speech received backlash as many saw his sentiments as anti-Semitic and he was later fired from CNN[5].
