"In the midst of this political quagmire, there is one voice that should not be forgotten; that of the Palestinians themselves. Is it not the people who form the basis of the nation on which a state is built? Even though the Palestinian people are far from having a united voice in the UN-statehood bid, they are the ones who should be heard the most. Here in Ramallah, cars are decorated with flags that say “UN 194” and there are rallies and demonstrations to make the world aware of the Palestinian wish to become the world’s 194th state. When I talk to Palestinians however, I meet a lot of skepticism about whether this will actually change anything...." Julie Holm for MIFTAH
