Almost a year after the start of the abominable attacks in Gaza, Netanhayu is pushing Lebanon and Israel into another full-on war that could set the whole region on fire. More bombs falling on children's heads won't bring peace -- it never has. This week at the United Nations, key leaders are finally moving to recognise Palestine as a sovereign state - the only hope for lasting peace in the region. But for this to succeed, we need all major countries on board, and they are not there yet. Our call for the recognition of Palestine is already supported by 1.5 million voices, but today we need more, we need you! Sign now, share with your friends, and help us send a message so powerful that the unwilling leaders of the G20 can no longer ignore it. Sign for Palestine To the leaders of all UN member states: "We urge you to recognise the state of Palestine as a sovereign state and reaffirm the rights of the Palestinian people. It is time to turn the tide on decades of suffering, failed peace talks, end the occupation, and move towards lasting peace." Sign for Palestine 10 years ago, Avaaz fought hard for the United Nations to recognise Palestine as the world's 194th state, and we won.  Palestine's Ambassador to Europe said then: "Avaaz and its members across the world have played a crucial role in persuading governments to support the Palestinian people's bid for a state and for freedom and peace. They have stood with us throughout and their solidarity and support will be remembered and cherished across Palestine".  Once again, let's stand with Palestinians, Israelis, Lebanese and people everywhere who want to protect rights, freedom, and laws, and not the rule of the strong governing our world. Palestine's access to statehood won't solve the conflict with a wave of a magic wand, but official recognition will change the dynamics of negotiation and pave the way for freedom and peace. People all over Palestine could win a freedom that generations have never known. Let's support them.
