General Assembly
Afghanistan (Benji Mickel)
Israel Palestine Issue
Afghanistan Israel Palestine Issue Resolution
The General Assembly,
Realizing the Israel Palestine conflict has escalated to the point where the international
community must be called upon to take action,
Aware of how the Palestinian Israeli dispute has been carried on for tens of years,
Keeping in mind this conflict is the greatest issue the world faces today,
Fully aware of the rapidly rising population in the already crowded nation of Israel,
Noting with deep concern sources such as the Migration Policy Institute have reported
the Jewish state in Israel to be promoting high birth rate in the nation and encouraging
migration to the nation through the status quo (Israel),
Acknowledging this over population has manifested in the form of illegal Jewish
settlements onto Palestinian territories as defined in the United Nations 1947 General
Assembly Partition (A/RES/181),
Recalling the PLO executive committee member Hanan Ashrawi being quoted In the
article“UN Panel: Israeli Settlements are Illegal” saying, "All the Israeli settlement
activities are illegal and considered to be war crimes according to the International
Criminal Court's Rome Statute as well as the Fourth Geneva Convention. This means that
Israel is liable to prosecution," (Hanrahan),
Taking into consideration the 5 million Palestinian refugees who take shelter in Arab
countries neighboring Israel,
Desiring a home for those disallowed of return to Palestine as well as a place where they
will be given equal rights and full citizenship,
Bearing In mind people with no historic connection to Israel have been granted access to
the country before the Palestinian Refugees were given the slightest thought,
1. Proclaims all migration to Israel needs to be stopped until further solutions are
reached;
2. Requests the Palestinian refugee issue is addressed and their right of return is satisfied;
3. Endorses a two state solution along the 1947 United Nations Partition borderlines;
4. Demands the Israelis Immediately remove their people from the Illegal settlements
located on the Palestinian lands by April 30th 2014:
(a) From here they will be given a 90 day time period to evacuate the Israeli
people from these settlements;
(b) Palestinian refugees will be given the shelter of these units;
(c) If request is refused resistance will be met with sanctions and military power
if necessary;
(d) Nations who pass resolution will be responsible to enforce these actions;
(e) The Palestinian state will be responsible for dealing with the remaining
refugees;
5. Designates the newly formed state of Palestine to find the remaining Palestinian
Refugees a place where:
(a) They will be given equal civil and human rights as other residents of that
state;
(b) The refugees will be given full citizenship to the state;
6. Urges the state of Palestine to give the Palestinian refugees home and right of return to
the newly formed state of Palestine:
(a) Authorizes the deployment of 15,000 United Nations peacekeeping troops to
ensure a smooth and orderly transition from the refugee camps to Palestine;
(b) Peacekeeping troops will remain in Palestine until all refuges are transferred
to the area and the state has a just law enforcement of it’s own;
7. Confirms if Palestine is allowed it’s own state under these borderlines, Arab countries
will begin to accept a Jewish state in Israel and peace will begin to take hold in the
Middle East.
