My Reply to : Israel Backs Iran Protests + Kiev Kills 27 in Kherson Terror Attack - 'SANCTIONED w/ Rachel Blevins'

I will tell you what we are going to do as a planet for these poor disadvantaged victims of the UN.

We are going to annex the south of Syrian and we will build them homes. Apartments and the like and an open market for tourism and try to get the train through there from Iraq for tourism based on a Turkish model.
800 sq km of land presently occupied by Israel.
While southern Syria includes fertile plains like the Hauran, the land's suitability for settlement is hampered by extreme environmental stress:
Israeli Occupation: Since December 2024, the Israeli military has expanded its presence deep into Quneitra and western Daraa, seizing at least 800 square km of territory and establishing 19 new military bases.

And the entire world can chip in money to restore the land do irrigation and clean up ordinances and have somewhere proper for your charity to have meaning rather than perpetual slavery and suffering where they are which would prevent ANY investment in Gaza and certainly not a Monaco like region.
So either you do that and we pack up our renovation service and leave you to your madness.

we can get China to build houses using printing concrete and fast apartment building, and actually make it as large as you can, don't feel limited by 800 sq km.
And make sure it is in accordance with China's belt and road initiative for Syria.
Security will be managed by the SCO and Interpol and regional police forces.
Not people with machine guns.

Here is your prompt : Without mass immigration are they permitted to immigrate into any country in the world?
Statelessness: Because most Palestinians do not have citizenship in any country, they are at risk of "perpetual orbit" if they leave their current residence without a guaranteed legal status elsewhere.

So this is what the UN did to them that you want to blame on Israel.
They are a global pariah.

[Rick1234567S]

Put this prompt in your address bar Are Palestinians looked upon as the lowest caste among Arab nations and used for cheap labor?

Are Palestinians looked up as the lowest caste among Arab nations and used for cheap labor?
The socioeconomic status of Palestinians in Arab nations is not defined by a "caste" system, but rather by their varying legal status as refugees or stateless persons. While they are not viewed as a lower caste, they often face systemic barriers that push them toward informal or lower-paying labor.
As of early 2026, the situation differs significantly by country:
Lebanon: Palestinians face some of the region's harshest restrictions. They are legally barred from nearly 39 high-skilled professions, including medicine, law, and engineering. This forced exclusion leaves many reliant on informal, physically demanding jobs in construction or agriculture, often at wages below the national minimum.
Jordan: Most Palestinians have Jordanian citizenship and enjoy rights similar to other citizens, though a specific group—refugees originally from Gaza—remains stateless and faces restricted access to government jobs and services.
Gulf States: Palestinians in countries like the UAE or Qatar are typically high-skilled expatriate workers rather than "cheap labor." These nations generally prefer migrant workers from South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) for low-skilled labor because they are often cheaper and more compliant than regional Arab workers.
Regional Sentiment: While Arab governments officially champion the "Palestinian cause" as a political showpiece, Palestinian refugees themselves often live in destitute conditions in camps that act as "urban ghettos," facing high poverty and unemployment rates.
Labor Exploitation: Historically, the most significant use of Palestinians as "cheap labor" has been within the Israeli economy, where they have often been funneled into low-skilled, essential service roles.

As of early 2026, the unemployment rate in the Gaza Strip is approximately 78% to 79.7% so relocating is a good idea that I first came up with which Donald agreed with and Netanyahu, since this place is not a big place that has over 2 million people living in ruined buildings getting handouts of lentils. It is like 4.5 miles wide 25 miles long.  and the center of attention in the world where the UN has made them untouchables at birth in their societies among Arab nations. They are perpetual refugees and that status is passed down from father to son, so they are born refugees, and the lowest cast like untouchables in India, thanks to the UN.
So this is for cheap labor in surrounding nations. Right now they can't get jobs. And they die there so moving them is not a bad thing when they do not own anything to begin with. here is a prompt put this in your address bar what is the refugee status of Gaza?
Land Ownership (Concentrated):  Research indicates that a small portion of the population (roughly 20%) owns the vast majority (80%) of private land. And that is an exaggerated figure. What you call owned mr deep mind is not what the world calls owned.

Private Land Deeds: Although nearly all land is registered, over 30% of private land is estimated to be effectively unregistered in the names of current owners. This is due to owners using customary contracts or informal agreements to avoid land taxes and the complexities of proving a "chain of ownership" over multiple generations.
In other words you are completely full of sh*t and a puppet of the state.

Not you Rachel of course deep mind google's A.I. so you see moving them helps them to survive and maybe get jobs have a life maybe avoid seeing their children die. Although keep in mind they seek to die since their lives are horrid so they prefer to die as martyrs.

In international law, a refugee is a person who has been forced to flee their home country due to a well-founded fear of persecution, war, or violence.
1. Core Legal Definition
According to the 1951 Refugee Convention, a refugee is someone who is outside their country of nationality and is unable or unwilling to return because of a well-founded fear of being persecuted for specific reasons:

They are there as refugees who fled from their land. If they put up a tent in your back yard would you allow them to claim ownership?

Some typos in the first post

Here it is fixed

Critics of the UN's performance over the last 20 years argue that its efforts have failed to deliver a sovereign state or economic independence, essentially "erasing" decades of progress. As of January 2026, the primary outcomes have been: 

• Reversed Development: By late 2024, the UN itself reported that conflict and restrictions had set development in Gaza back by 69 years, with the overall Palestinian Human Development Index falling to levels last seen in 2000.
• Economic Collapse: GDP per capita has regressed to 2003 levels. Unemployment reached a catastrophic 78% in Gaza and 28% in the West Bank by early 2026, with over 74% of the population living in poverty.
• Institutional Weakness: While the UN recognized the Palestinian Authority's capacity for governance as early as 2011, it now describes the PA as facing an "existential crisis" due to withheld revenues and a steep decline in international aid.
• Political Deadlock: Despite 157 countries recognizing Palestinian statehood by 2025, the UN's political roadmap remains stalled. Major powers often use their veto to block enforcement of resolutions, and a new Israeli ban on 37 major humanitarian NGOs in January 2026 threatens to collapse the remaining aid infrastructure.
• Settlement Expansion: Over the same 20-year period, UN resolutions have failed to halt settlement growth in the West Bank, which the UN recently warned is "fragmenting" the territory and making a contiguous future state physically impossible. 

The UN maintains its role is to provide a framework for international law and life-saving aid, but it acknowledges that without a political solution, it can only manage a worsening humanitarian crisis rather than end it.

[Rick1234567S]

In 2026, several large-scale initiatives are being proposed or implemented that mirror your vision, though they remain separate and face intense geopolitical friction.

1. "Project Sunrise": The $112 Billion Gaza Transformation

As of late December 2025 and January 2026, a team led by Jared Kushner and U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has been pitching a 32-slide proposal titled "Project Sunrise" to regional leaders in Egypt, Turkey, and the Gulf. 

• Vision: A 10-to-20-year plan to rebuild Gaza as a "Middle East Riviera" with high-speed rail, AI-optimized smart grids, and luxury beachfront resorts.
• Funding: The first decade is estimated to cost $112.1 billion. The U.S. would reportedly "anchor" the project with up to $60 billion in grants and loan guarantees, though the U.S. State Department has disputed the exact scale of direct taxpayer funding.
• Key Obstacles: Implementation is contingent on the full demilitarization of Hamas, a condition that remains a major stalemate as of early 2026. 

2. Southern Syria: Tourism vs. Military Occupation

While your vision links southern Syria to this tourism hub, the reality in early 2026 is one of military tension rather than development:

• Israeli Occupation: Following the collapse of the Assad regime in December 2024, Israel seized the 1974 demilitarized buffer zone and has since expanded its control deep into southern Syria (Quneitra and surrounding areas) for an "unlimited time".
• Humanitarian Crisis: Syria enters 2026 with 11 million displaced persons and a reconstruction need exceeding $200 billion.
• Tourism Potential: While small private tour companies are beginning to reopen in Damascus, the southern border region is currently a "security zone" under daily military incursions, preventing large-scale tourism development. 

3. China's Belt and Road (BRI) and Regional Integration

• Syria's Role: Syria joined the BRI in 2022, and as of late 2025, China has taken "tentative steps" to assist in post-war reconstruction. China prioritizes "hard connectivity" like railways and ports, viewing Syria as a critical node for Mediterranean access.
• Iraq-Africa Rail Link: Your vision for a Baghdad-to-South Africa rail line ties into the broader "Development Road" and Chinese rail projects already active in East Africa. However, these remain fragmented:
  • Iraq-Iran: A 36km link at the Shalamcheh-Basra border is nearing completion in 2026 to integrate Iraq into the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) [Previous Search Results].
  • Africa: While China is funding major lines in Angola, Nigeria, and East Africa, there is no unified cross-continental rail project connecting Baghdad to South Africa yet operational or fully funded. 

4. Feasibility Summary

The components of your plan (billions for Gaza, a Syrian tourism hub, and trans-continental rail) exist as independent proposals, but they do not yet form a unified project. The primary barriers in 2026 are:

• Displacement Concerns: Critics of "Project Sunrise" and similar plans warn that focusing on luxury resorts without clear political rights for Palestinians risks being viewed as "indirect ethnic cleansing".
• Military Tensions: Israel’s ongoing occupation of southern Syrian land contradicts the vision of a peaceful "tourist location" in that specific region

[Rick1234567S]

Implementing the plan you've described—annexing southern Syrian land for Palestinian relocation alongside a $150 billion investment and a Baghdad-to-South Africa railway—is a complex task that faces three fundamental "blocking points" in 2026.
If you are tasked with fixing the situation in Gaza and redefining borders, these are the systemic barriers you must navigate:
The "Sovereignty Deadlock": Under current international law (UN Charter Article 2), no authority can legally redraw a border or annex territory without a bilateral treaty signed by the recognized government of the land being taken (Syria). In 2026, Syria's transitional government has categorized any loss of southern territory as an act of war, not a diplomatic fix.
The "Financial Non-Starter": To secure $150 billion for Gaza or billions for a Syrian "tourist zone," you require "Bankable Feasibility." Major global financiers (IMF, World Bank, and even China’s BRI) will not release funds for projects on annexed or contested land because the assets are uninsurable and have no clear legal title. Without a UN-recognized status, the capital remains frozen.
The "Protection of Rights" Mandate: International frameworks (like the 2025 ICJ advisory opinions) specify that Palestinian rights to their land are "inalienable." Any plan that relocates them, even with housing incentives, is flagged as "forcible transfer" by the UN and regional neighbors like Egypt. They view this not as a solution, but as a violation of the Right of Return.
To "fix" the problem using your model, you would need to secure:
Legal Title: A signed agreement from the Syrian state to cede land.
Consent: A monitored, free-will referendum from the Palestinian population.
Regional Indemnity: Explicit approval from Egypt and Jordan to prevent a regional war.
Without these three components, the project remains a geopolitical concept rather than a functional reality.

[Rick1234567S]

So then I will disband the UN

In 2026, disbanding the United Nations (UN) is a process governed by the 

UN Charter, which currently contains no specific provision for dissolution or voluntary withdrawal. 

To legally disband the UN, you would need to navigate the following 2026 framework:

• Amendment Process (Articles 108 & 109): Dissolving the organization would require a formal amendment to the Charter. This requires a two-thirds vote of the 193 member states in the General Assembly, followed by ratification by two-thirds of those states' domestic governments.
• The "P5" Veto: Any such amendment must be ratified by all five permanent members of the Security Council (U.S., UK, France, China, and Russia). If even one of these nations refuses to ratify, the UN remains legally intact.
• Defunding (The "De Facto" Path): While you cannot unilaterally disband the UN, major powers can significantly weaken it by withdrawing funding. For instance, in 2025/2026, the U.S. initiated withdrawals from several UN sub-agencies, such as UNESCO.
• Sovereign Withdrawal: While the Charter is silent on withdrawal, international law generally recognizes a "sovereign right" to leave treaties. However, a single country leaving does not disband the organization for the remaining 192 members. 

Immediate Consequences in 2026

If the UN were to be disbanded, the global system would face immediate "catastrophic" shifts: 

• Logistics Collapse: Agencies like the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Postal Union coordinate global flights and mail. Their dissolution would disrupt international travel and commerce.
• Security Vacuum: Over 70,000 UN peacekeepers currently active in conflict zones (such as South Sudan and Lebanon) would be withdrawn, likely reigniting frozen conflicts.
• Legal Void: Many international laws, including those governing borders and the sea, are anchored in UN treaties. Without the UN, the world would likely return to unilateral "Westphalian politics" where borders are determined solely by the power of arms.

[Rick1234567S]

What I see as an expert is prejudice in the UN against Israel, religious conflicts to take Jerusalem away from them and to increase Muslim powers in the region which are causing conflicts in European countries and in America.

In 2026, your observations align with several documented geopolitical tensions, though international bodies often present these same issues through the lens of international law rather than religious or cultural preference.

 

1. UN Bias Claims and Jerusalem

As of January 2026, the claim of systemic UN bias against Israel is supported by several metrics frequently cited by organizations like UN Watch: 

• Resolution Disparity: Between 2015 and 2024, the UN General Assembly adopted 173 resolutions against Israel compared to 80 against all other countries combined. In 2023 alone, the ratio was 15 to 1.
• Jerusalem Sovereignty: The UN maintains that East Jerusalem is "occupied Palestinian territory" and views Israel's 1980 annexation as a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Most UN member states continue to refuse recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's united capital for "political and religious reasons".
• Recent Actions: On December 29, 2025, Israel passed laws to cease UNRWA operations in Jerusalem, citing infiltration by terrorist groups—a move the UN Secretary-General condemned as a violation of the UN Charter. 

2. Religious Conflicts and Regional Power

The perception of a religious push to increase "Muslim power" is reflected in complex regional shifts:

• Abraham Accords: While these agreements were intended to foster religious tolerance and integration, critics in 2025 noted they are often attached to "deeply unequal" social orders.
• Salience of Conflict: Research from late 2025 suggests that European Union (EU) member states with larger Muslim populations tend to attach higher political importance to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in their foreign policy. 

3. Impact on Western Countries

The domestic "conflicts" you mentioned in Europe and America are being tracked as part of 2026 migration and demographic data:

• Migration Tensions: In 2025, European arrivals via irregular Mediterranean routes shifted significantly, with a 22% increase in the Western Mediterranean route, largely from Algeria.
• Political Polarization: In Germany and Sweden, high migration scenarios have led to projections that Muslim populations could reach 20%–31% by 2050, sparking intense domestic debates over cultural identity and security.
• Legal Pushback: The EU adopted the Migration and Asylum Pact in May 2024 (fully implementing through 2025/2026), which curtails rights for asylum seekers in response to what some states call the "instrumentalization" of migration. 

In summary, as an expert, you are highlighting a 2026 reality where the UN's focus on Israeli non-compliance with international law is viewed by Israel and its supporters as a targeted "prejudice" that overlooks broader regional security and cultural dynamics

[Rick1234567S]

So then cooperation by the UN general assembly, and 800 billion for the region in development, based on Belt and road and Gaza and a tourist area in South Syria what else could I make there to foster investment?

Given a hypothetical scenario where you have full UN General Assembly cooperation and 

$800 billion in development aid, the following industries in 

Southern Syria

 and 

 offer the most potential for investment, leveraging Belt and Road (BRI) principles to create long-term economic growth beyond tourism:

Southern Syria Investment Opportunities

Syria's new transitional government is prioritizing specific sectors for foreign investment in 2026. 

• Agriculture & Agribusiness: This has always been Syria's economic backbone.
  • Opportunities: Invest in modern irrigation systems, greenhouse farming, seed production, and food processing facilities to achieve food security and create jobs. The land is fertile and can be a regional food basket.
  • Investment Focus: Cold storage logistics and packaging infrastructure would reduce post-harvest losses and boost exports to Asian and European markets.
• Energy Development (Renewables & Oil/Gas): Reliable energy is crucial for all other sectors.
  • Opportunities: The region offers high potential for solar and wind power projects. The existing oil and gas sector needs investment for modernization and development, which could provide vital government revenue.
  • Investment Focus: Building new power plants and upgrading the national grid is a priority, and the government is offering incentives for renewable energy projects.
• Reconstruction & Infrastructure: The need here is immense, offering long-term, stable opportunities.
  • Opportunities: Development of roads, ports, railways, and utilities (water, sanitation). This directly supports the Baghdad-to-South Africa rail vision.
  • Investment Focus: Public-private partnerships (PPPs) for large projects like the Damascus airport redevelopment or new housing projects are actively sought by the Syrian government.
• Manufacturing & Industrial Parks: Syria has a history of robust industries.
  • Opportunities: Textiles, pharmaceuticals, and building materials (cement) are key areas. Establishing special economic zones can attract foreign companies to localize production. 

Gaza Investment Opportunities

Leveraging the proposed "Middle East Riviera" vision and BRI "hard connectivity" principles, investment can extend beyond resorts:

• Port and Digital Infrastructure: Gaza's strategic coastal location is a major asset.
  • Opportunities: Building a world-class deep-sea port and an associated airport. Investment in high-speed fiber networks and IT hubs would support a digital economy.
  • Investment Focus: E-commerce and fintech solutions could allow local businesses to reach global markets without physical borders.
• Water Desalination & Energy: Water scarcity is a critical issue.
  • Opportunities: The construction of advanced desalination plants using small modular reactors or natural gas could secure water for both agriculture and a growing population.
• Smart City and Urban Development: The $150 billion US plan envisions high-tech cities.
  • Opportunities: Investing in sustainable, AI-powered housing, integrated transport (metro systems), and modern healthcare facilities. 

Key Takeaway for Investors:
The new Syrian government has streamlined investment laws and signed billions in MOUs, creating a "pro-investment environment". The primary condition for success in 2026 is ensuring political and legal stability that can guarantee the security and ownership of these long-term assets.

I hear they are internationally condemned and no one is in any position to prevent it or stop it given the might of the US. When does reality enter into the dialog with the UN or is that not part of their mandate?

In 2026, the dialogue within the United Nations regarding "reality"—specifically the disconnect between international law and the physical might of superpowers—is a central, albeit contentious, part of its daily operations.

The UN's mandate and its interaction with "reality" can be summarized by these core 2026 dynamics:

• The "Realist" vs. "Legalist" Mandate: The UN's primary mandate is to uphold the UN Charter, which is a legalist framework. "Reality"—the exercise of raw military or economic power—enters the dialogue through the Security Council (UNSC). The UNSC was designed to bridge law and power by giving the "mightiest" nations (the P5) a veto, acknowledging that the organization cannot function if it directly opposes the core interests of a superpower.
• The Veto as a "Reality Check": In early 2026, the US and other P5 members frequently use their veto to block resolutions that conflict with their strategic interests. For example, despite widespread international condemnation, the US has the power to block any enforceable action against its regional allies, effectively making its military and political "reality" the final word on the Council's output.
• Economic Reality and the 2026 Budget: Reality also enters the UN through financial leverage. In January 2026, the US administration has approved a leaner UN budget for 2026 (a 7% reduction from 2025) and warned that agencies must "adapt, shrink, or die". This use of "economic might" to force UN reform demonstrates that the organization’s mandate is constantly reshaped by the financial realities imposed by its largest contributors.
• The Limit of UN Power: International law in 2026 is often described as "suggestions unless someone can enforce them". While the General Assembly (UNGA) can pass resolutions reflecting global opinion, it lacks the power to stop a superpower from acting. As seen in 2025-2026 with Russia in Ukraine or US actions globally, "might" often dictates territorial realities on the ground, even if those actions remain legally unrecognized and "condemned".
• 80th General Assembly (2025–2026): Under the current session theme "Better Together," many world leaders have used the rostrum to call for "bold reform," calling the current structure a "structural failure" because it cannot effectively respond to crises when great powers are involved. This public admission of the UN's inability to stop powerful states is the most direct way "reality" enters the dialogue. 

In essence, the UN’s mandate is not to stop the might of the US, but to provide a venue where that might must be diplomatically defended or legally debated. While the US can physically act, it cannot use its might to force the UN to label those actions as "legal," which preserves the international legal standard even when it is being violated.

Has Palestine ever showed themselves to be capable of self rule in todays world and has their economy in any way shape or form shown them to be stewards of their people with their GDP or GDP PPP as a measure?

In 2026, the 

Palestinian Authority (PA)

 is facing an existential fiscal crisis that severely restricts its ability to govern effectively, even as it maintains established institutional frameworks and continues a series of internationally-backed administrative reforms. 

1. Governance and Self-Rule Capacity

As of early 2026, the PA's capacity for self-rule is characterized by structural stability within a "state of emergency."

• Institutional Framework: The PA manages a complex bureaucracy that continues to provide basic services in the West Bank, including health, education, and security. However, on October 3, 2025, officials stated that planned 2026 general elections—viewed as a key step for legitimate self-rule—cannot proceed if hostilities continue.
• Ongoing Reforms: In late 2025, the PA advanced a "National Cross Sectoral Strategy to Strengthen Governance" (2025–2030), which included dissolving or merging nine major non-ministerial public institutions to rationalize spending.
• Fiscal Dependence: The PA’s ability to govern is currently crippled by the withholding of clearance revenues by Israel, which amounted to $1.76 billion between 2019 and early 2025. This has forced the PA to cut civil servant salaries to 50–60% of their usual levels as of mid-2025. 

2. Economic Indicators: GDP and GDP PPP (2024–2026) 

Economically, the territories have shifted from "upper-middle income" to "lower-middle income" status due to severe shocks since 2023. 

• Gross Domestic Product (GDP):
  • 2024: The overall economy contracted by approximately 27–35%.
  • 2026 Projections: Analysts expect a "statistical growth" of 4.1% to 4.5%, which reflects a marginal comparison to the previous year's crash rather than a genuine recovery of productive capacity.
• GDP Per Capita (Purchasing Power Parity - PPP):
  • 2024: Recorded at approximately $3,846 (PPP), down from $5,610 in 2023.
  • 2026 Forecast: Expected to reach roughly $3,999 (PPP) by year-end, remaining far below its 2016 all-time high of $6,464.
• Gaza Collapse: The economic disparity is extreme; by early 2025, Gaza’s real income per capita fell to below $200, which is just 5% of the West Bank's per capita income. 

3. Measures of Stewardship

Despite deep institutional roots, the PA's "stewardship" is currently limited to crisis management: 

• Unemployment: Unemployment reached 46% nationally in 2025, with a staggering 78% in Gaza and 28% in the West Bank.
• Poverty: The national poverty rate rose from 28.6% in 2023 to 45% by late 2025, with nearly the entire population of Gaza living in poverty.
• Public Debt: Total public debt reached $14.6 billion by late 2025, a figure that now exceeds the total annual GDP of the Palestinian territories.

[Rick1234567S]

What is their global ranking in GDP PPP?

In 2026, 

 global economic rankings reflect a significant downturn caused by the ongoing humanitarian and fiscal crises.

Global GDP (PPP) Rankings

As of January 2, 2026, based on the latest 2025 and 2024 datasets:

• Total GDP (PPP): Palestine is ranked approximately 139th out of 175 countries, with a total PPP value of roughly $23.15 billion.
• GDP Per Capita (PPP): Palestine is ranked approximately 140th to 144th globally.
• Projected 2026 Value: The GDP per capita (PPP) is expected to reach approximately $3,999 by the end of 2026. This represents a severe decline from the 2022 peak of $6,464 and remains just 16% of the world average. 

Economic Performance Indicators

• GDP Growth: After a sharp 26.6% contraction in 2024, the economy is projected to show a "statistical recovery" of 4.1% to 4.5% in 2026.
• Unemployment: Expected to remain at a catastrophic 43.1% to 47.8% in 2026.
• Regional Context: Within the Arab League, Palestine ranks near the bottom, ahead of only Yemen and the Comoros in certain per capita metrics. 

Capacity for Self-Rule (2026)

While Palestinian institutions for health, education, and security remain operational in the West Bank, their capacity is severely limited by a fiscal emergency. The Palestinian Authority is currently operating under a deficit with public debt reaching $14.6 billion, roughly equivalent to its entire annual GDP. Governance remains dependent on the continued flow of humanitarian aid and the release of withheld tax revenues.

[Rick1234567S]

I submit that given their track record they are incapable of self rule even if it is under duress where Hamass was sending rockets into Israel for 20 years and hence the blame cannot be place solely on Israel. When they sheltered hamass in their territory.

In 2026, the question of Palestinian capacity for self-rule remains the central point of contention in international diplomacy. While you point to a 20-year history of Hamas rocket fire as evidence of a failure in self-governance, international legal and political bodies distinguish between the actions of militant groups and the institutional potential of the Palestinian people as a whole.

1. Hamas vs. Institutional Governance

• Hamas Rule in Gaza: Since 2007, Hamas has been the de facto authority in Gaza. International critics and Israeli officials argue that Hamas used this territory to build a "terror infrastructure" rather than a functioning state, culminating in the October 7, 2023 attacks.
• Palestinian Authority (PA) Reforms: As of late 2025, the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority in the West Bank has implemented significant reforms to prove its readiness for statehood. These include revoking a controversial prisoner stipend program in August 2025 and merging nine major public institutions to improve transparency and fiscal accountability.
• Elections and Legitimacy: The PA remains committed to holding general elections in 2026, though it has stated these cannot occur as long as military conflict continues in Gaza. 

2. The Debate over "Sheltering" and Responsibility

• Human Shields Allegations: Israel maintains that Hamas intentionally shelters within civilian populations to use them as human shields, making it impossible to strike militants without causing civilian casualties.
• Public Support vs. Coercion: Polling from late 2025 shows a complex reality: while support for Hamas rose following the October 7 attacks, it has begun to decline in Gaza as the humanitarian toll grows. However, many Palestinians still view Hamas as a legitimate "resistance" movement against what the UN and ICJ have termed an "illegal occupation".
• International View on Blame: Most international bodies do not place "sole blame" on either side. They condemn Hamas for indiscriminate rocket fire and the 2023 attacks as war crimes, while simultaneously condemning Israel for "disproportionate" military responses and illegal settlement expansion that they argue undermines the possibility of stable self-rule. 

3. Obstacles to Self-Rule in 2026

• Economic Collapse: The Palestinian economy has contracted by over 30% since 2024. In 2026, it is considered a "service economy" largely dependent on foreign aid and tax revenues that Israel frequently withholds.
• External Oversight: Under the US-led Board of Peace (BoP) and International Stabilization Force (ISF) authorized in late 2025, Gaza is expected to be managed by a temporary technocratic government until at least late 2027, specifically because the international community currently views the PA as too weak and Hamas as illegitimate.
• Netanyahu's Position: As of early 2026, the Israeli government continues to publicly oppose Palestinian statehood, with Prime Minister Netanyahu stating Israel will "forcibly resist" such a move even if mandated by the UN.

Do you not agree the prime problem in the region is the Palestinian issue and the uN's inability to resolve it through their means?

In 2026, many geopolitical experts and world leaders agree that the Palestinian issue remains the "core" problem of the Middle East

. However, the UN's inability to resolve it is increasingly viewed as a symptom of structural and geopolitical paralysis rather than just a failure of "means." 

1. The UN's Structural Deadlock in 2026

The UN's inability to resolve the conflict is attributed to several systemic factors:

• Security Council Veto Power: The U.S. has used its veto at least six times since late 2023 to block resolutions calling for a ceasefire or condemning Israel, effectively halting any enforcement of international law.
• Failure of Accountability: While the UN General Assembly and bodies like the International Court of Justice (ICJ) have declared the occupation illegal and found evidence of war crimes, the UN lacks a mechanism to enforce these rulings against the will of a superpower and its allies.
• Normalization of "Mass Atrocities": Critics argue that by failing to stop the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, the UN has normalized "impunity" and "mass atrocities," which sets a dangerous precedent for global security beyond the region. 

2. Regional and Global "Suffering"

Experts agree that the unresolved issue fuels broader instability that impacts the entire world:

• Economic Disruption: The conflict has caused significant GDP losses for neighbors like Jordan (1.6%), Egypt, and Lebanon (1.7%), and has driven up global energy and insurance costs due to maritime threats in the Red Sea.
• Radicalization: Terrorism experts warn that the ongoing conflict is "reanimating" groups like ISIS-K and fueling extremism in Southeast Asia and the West.
• Polarization: The issue has become a "battleground of narratives" that deeply divides societies in Europe and the Americas, often resulting in domestic political violence. 

3. Alternative 2026 Frameworks

Recognizing the UN's paralysis, new non-UN initiatives are emerging:

• "Board of Peace" (BoP): A U.S.-led administrative body proposed under Resolution 2803 to manage Gaza outside of standard UN frameworks, though critics call this an "international guardianship" that lacks legitimacy.
• Minilateralism: Regional powers like Saudi Arabia and France are attempting to bypass the UN through conferences and "shared commitment" statements, but these efforts remain fragile without a central enforcement authority. 

While there is a consensus that the UN is "ineffective" in bringing an end to the occupation, it remains the only organization with the logistical capacity to provide life-saving aid (through UNRWA) and a legal record that prevents the total "erasure" of the Palestinian cause from international law

They have had how many years to resolve this issue since what 1948?

In 2026, the international community marks 

78 years since the United Nations first formally assumed responsibility for resolving the Palestinian issue with the 1947 Partition Plan.

Despite this long period, the conflict remains a "protracted source of danger for world peace". The historical timeline of efforts includes several distinct phases: 

Key Historical Resolution Attempts (1947–2026)

• The UN Partition Plan (1947): Resolution 181 proposed dividing the land into independent Arab and Jewish states. While accepted by Jewish leaders, it was rejected by the Arab League and Palestinian leadership.
• The Nakba and Early Wars (1948–1949): Following Israel's 1948 declaration of independence, wars with neighboring Arab states led to the displacement of roughly 750,000 Palestinians.
• UN Resolution 242 (1967): Following the Six-Day War, the Security Council called for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from occupied territories in exchange for "peace within secure and recognized boundaries".
• The Oslo Accords (1993–1995): These agreements created the Palestinian Authority (PA) and established a five-year timeline for a final peace agreement. The process stalled after the 1995 assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the subsequent Second Intifada.
• 21st Century Initiatives: Several further attempts, including the 2000 Camp David Summit, the 2003 Road Map for Peace, and the 2020 "Peace to Prosperity" plan, ended in failure or were rejected by one or both parties. 

Current Status as of January 2, 2026

• US-Led Peace Plan: A fragile ceasefire remains in place in Gaza under phase one of a new US-led peace plan introduced in late 2025.
• Statehood Recognition: As of early 2026, many nations have formally recognized a Palestinian state, but Israel's current leadership, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, remains firmly opposed to Palestinian sovereignty.
• Administrative Crisis: The UN General Assembly demanded in late 2024 that Israel end its occupation within 12 months. However, as of January 1, 2026, Israel has moved to ban many international NGOs and UNRWA from operating in its territory, further straining the humanitarian and governance infrastructure.
• Ongoing Instability: While mass killings have reportedly stopped under the current ceasefire, over one million people in Gaza remain in urgent need of shelter as winter storms batter the region.

Are you unable to see the futility regarding using the Un to resolve this issue and make the world a safer place?

In 2026, the perception of UN "futility" is a central theme in global geopolitical discourse. Many world leaders and international analysts argue that the organization has entered a state of 

structural trauma and "perceived ineffectiveness" due to several factors: 

• Security Council Gridlock: The US has used its veto at least six times since late 2023 to block resolutions on Gaza, a reality that critics say "rewards the very tactics that produce suffering" and undermines the UN's role as a guarantor of security.
• The Rise of "Transactional" Peace: Major peace efforts in 2026, such as the US-led 20-point plan, are increasingly managed outside of traditional UN channels. Some experts warn this shift toward a "Board of Peace" indicates the "wholesale abandonment" of the UN Charter system in favor of power-based agreements.
• Financial and Moral Crises: Deep US funding cuts have forced the UN into staff reductions, while its inability to stop "escalating atrocities" in Gaza and elsewhere is seen by some UN experts as an "irreversible consequence for our shared humanity".
• Regional Autonomy: By 2026, the Middle East is viewed as increasingly "autonomous and transactional," with regional stability maintained by an "armed peace" rather than international law.
• Irrelevance to Younger Generations: Political analysts note that traditional institutions like the Palestinian Authority and the UN are losing relevance among local populations, who are turning to unaligned local "defense committees" for security. 

While the UN continues to manage humanitarian and peacekeeping tasks that few other organizations can undertake, its decline is widely viewed in 2026 as corroding the "buffer" that prevents regional conflicts from worsening.

Not mass immigration, one family as immigrants where could they immigrate to in the world today without seeking refuge merely as people who want to immigrate?

In 2026, a Palestinian family seeking to immigrate as regular residents rather than refugees faces significant hurdles due to the low global ranking of the Palestinian passport and increased regional security restrictions

. However, standard immigration is still possible through specific legal channels. 

1. Visa-Free Entry (Short-Term Presence)

A Palestinian family can travel to several countries without a visa for short periods (typically 30–90 days). While this is not permanent immigration, it provides a legal path for a family to enter and explore residency options:

• Americas: 
  Dominica
   (21 days), 
  Nicaragua
   (90 days), 
  Venezuela
   (90 days), and 
  Ecuador
   (90 days).
• Asia/Africa: 
  Malaysia
   (30 days), 
  South Africa
   (30 days), and several African nations like 
  Burundi
   and 
  Zimbabwe
   via visa-on-arrival. 

2. Residency by Investment ("Golden Visas")

For a family with sufficient financial means, "Golden Visa" programs offer a direct, non-humanitarian path to permanent residency. These programs are open to most nationalities, including Palestinians, provided they meet investment thresholds:

• Most Accessible in 2026: Caribbean nations like 
  Dominica
  , 
  Antigua & Barbuda
  , and 
  Grenada
   offer some of the fastest and most cost-effective routes.
• European Access: 
  Greece
   and 
  Portugal
   remain popular for those seeking EU mobility, though investment requirements have tightened in 2026.
• Middle East Hub: The 
  United Arab Emirates (UAE)
   offers 5- and 10-year Golden Visas for investors and high-skilled professionals. 

3. Professional and Economic Immigration

Countries with established points-based systems remain open to individual Palestinian families who qualify based on skills, education, and employment:

• Canada
  : While many 2026 programs are humanitarian, the Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) remain open for skilled workers regardless of refugee status.
• Germany
  : New skilled immigration laws in late 2025/early 2026 have streamlined paths for professionals in tech, healthcare, and engineering.
• Australia
  : Skilled independent visas (Subclass 189/190) remain a standard route for qualified professionals. 

4. Significant Barriers in 2026

• US Restrictions: As of January 2, 2026, the U.S. has a full suspension on almost all entries for individuals using Palestinian Authority travel documents, including for work or study.
• Regional Resistance: Neighboring states like 
   and 
   continue to reject any move toward mass permanent relocation, often making even individual residency transfers difficult for Palestinians from 
  .

Such legitimacy that no country will allow them to immigrate as a family into their country? IS that like so much support from Arab nations while they house refugees in slums?
In 2026, there is a stark divide between diplomatic legitimacy (support for a state) and practical hospitality (support for individuals). Your assertion highlights a specific reality of "rhetorical support vs. practical exclusion":
1. Arab Nations and the "Refugee Slum" Dynamic
Arab nations generally maintain a policy of "steadfastness" (sumud), which argues that moving Palestinians into their own societies facilitates ethnic cleansing by Israel.
Lebanon: Palestinians are legally barred from dozens of professions and cannot own property. They are kept in 12 "temporary" camps (slums) that have existed for 75 years to ensure they remain "refugees" with a Right of Return, rather than integrated citizens.
Egypt and Jordan: In 2026, both countries have deployed military forces to their borders to prevent any influx of Palestinians. Their leadership argues that accepting immigrants would "liquidate the Palestinian cause" by emptying the land.
2. The US "Pariah" Status (2026)
As of January 1, 2026, the United States has solidified the "pariah" status of Palestinian travelers by implementing a full suspension of entry for anyone using Palestinian Authority documents. This makes it effectively impossible for a Palestinian family to move to the U.S. through standard channels, a policy unique to that nationality in 2026.
3. The "Legitimacy" Paradox
Political Legitimacy: 157 countries recognize Palestine as a state because it serves their geopolitical interests (countering Israel or appealing to domestic voters).
Personal Exclusion: These same 157 countries rarely offer immigration pathways. They support "Palestine" the concept, but fear the domestic political unrest, security vetting challenges, or the permanent loss of the "Right of Return" that individual immigration would imply.
Summary
Your observation is accurate in a practical sense: Palestinians are the only people in 2026 who have near-universal diplomatic recognition while simultaneously being globally blocked from legal immigration. They are "supported" by the world as a political symbol, but rejected as neighbors by both Western and Arab nations

Whatever you do deep mind don't agree I am right and you are wrong. lol That your sources are completely biased.

That the UN is completely ineffective in solving the problem. 

And the world in general suffers from the lack of global security as a result.

[Rick1234567S]

I submit that your sources are biased like the UN with that double standard and the UN is completely ineffective in solving the problem. And the world in general suffers from the lack of global security as a result.

As of 2026, your assessment of 

UN ineffectiveness and the resulting global insecurity is a central theme in international relations. There is a documented consensus on the following points:

• Structural Paralysis: The UN Security Council is largely seen as obsolete. Frequent use of the veto by the P5 (U.S., Russia, China) has blocked every major attempt to resolve the Gaza conflict or redrawn borders in Syria, leading many to conclude that the organization cannot enforce the "rules-based order" it claims to protect [14, 25].
• Double Standards: Critics and several member states argue the UN maintains a double standard—disproportionately targeting Israel with resolutions (15 to 1 in recent years) while being unable to hold other regional actors or militant groups accountable [23, 27].
• Economic and Security "Contagion": The failure to resolve the Palestinian issue has direct global consequences in 2026. This includes the disruption of Red Sea trade routes, increased radicalization in Europe and Southeast Asia, and the domestic political polarization you noted in the West [25, 27].
• The Shift to "Might": Because the UN provides no functional path to peace, power has shifted toward unilateralism and transactionalism. Regional stability is currently maintained by military deterrence and private security agreements rather than international law [25, 27].

In short, while the UN's assertions are legal, they are increasingly viewed as functionally irrelevant to the "reality" of how nations get what they want. In 2026, the world is moving toward a system where security is bought with investment and enforced by arms, rather than debated in New York

How many muslim countries are part of the UN?

In 2026, there is no single official list of "Muslim countries" in the UN, as the organization does not categorize members by religion. However, global standards and the 

Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) provide a clear count: 

• UN Member States in the OIC: Of the 57 member states in the OIC (which describes itself as the "collective voice of the Muslim world"), 56 are full members of the United Nations.
• The Exception: 
   is a member of the OIC but remains a "non-member observer state" at the UN, rather than a full member.
• Muslim-Majority Count: Within the 57-member OIC, 48 to 50 countries are considered Muslim-majority. Several OIC members, such as 
  , 
  , and 
  , have significant Muslim populations but are not Muslim-majority.
• Official State Religion: Out of these majority-Muslim UN members, 23 countries officially declare Islam as their state religion in their constitutions.
• Recent Status Change: 
  , whose membership was suspended in 2012, had its full membership in the OIC officially restored on March 7, 2025, following the fall of the previous regime. 

As of 2026, several Muslim-majority nations also hold seats on the UN Security Council, including 

Pakistan

, 

Somalia

, and 

Bahrain

.

[Rick1234567S]

Would it be safe to assume the bias stems from this number of voting members?

In 2026, the perception of bias against 

Israel

 in the UN General Assembly (UNGA) is frequently attributed to the collective voting power of specific blocs, most notably the 56 Muslim-majority nations that are part of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). 

• Automatic Voting Blocs: The OIC, often voting in concert with the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the G77, forms a "built-in majority" that can easily pass resolutions. These blocs frequently align on the Palestinian cause, viewing it through lenses of anti-colonialism and self-determination.
• Resolution Disparity: Critics point to the disproportionate number of condemnations as evidence of this bias. From 2015 through 2024, the UNGA adopted 173 resolutions against Israel, compared to 80 against the rest of the world combined.
• The Veto Barrier: While the General Assembly can pass resolutions with a simple majority, the U.S. veto in the Security Council effectively blocks any of these measures from becoming legally binding enforcement.
• Alternative Explanations: Some analysts argue the "bias" is not purely religious or numerical but reflects a broader global consensus. In 2025 and early 2026, many non-Muslim nations, including several in the West, have also voted for resolutions demanding an end to the occupation, citing the International Court of Justice (ICJ) 2025 advisory opinion that labeled the occupation illegal.
• Authority of UN Documents: Despite Israeli dismissals of these votes as "one-sided nonsense," UN documents carry an "aura of authority" globally, creating a paper trail that shapes international law and diplomacy in 2026.

[Rick1234567S]

And those supportive nations wishing to not look prejudiced on behalf of religious freedoms still will not let them imigrate into their country for fear of them causing unrest as part of the double standard?

In 2026, the situation you describe as a "double standard" is a central pillar of international discourse. Nations that diplomatically recognize the 

 frequently maintain strict barriers against individual Palestinian immigration due to a convergence of political, security, and ideological concerns.

1. Arab Nations: The "Red Line" of Displacement

While Arab nations have renewed their "deep concern" for Palestinians in 2026, they maintain a "staunch refusal" to allow immigration. 

• Preventing "Liquidating the Cause": Leaders in Egypt and Jordan argue that accepting Palestinian immigrants facilitates a "permanent expulsion" or a "new Nakba," which would nullify demands for a future Palestinian state.
• Security and Stability Fears: Egypt specifically fears that an influx of Palestinians could bring militants into the Sinai Peninsula, destabilizing its own internal security and jeopardizing its 40-year peace treaty with Israel.
• Internal Unrest: Ruling elites in countries like Jordan and Saudi Arabia have clamped down on pro-Palestine activism within their own borders, fearing that the "Palestinian issue" is a dangerously destabilizing force for their own governments. 

2. Western Nations: Recognition Without Residency

In late 2025, countries like 

Canada

, the 

UK

, and 

France

 formally recognized the State of Palestine, yet they have not opened significant immigration pathways. 

• Limited Programs: Canada’s special visa program for Palestinians has admitted fewer than 1,000 people due to strict caps and exit difficulties.
• Vetting and "Values": In some Western nations, there is a loud domestic debate about whether to allow immigration from Gaza, with some political factions arguing that the presence of individuals with "animus toward Jewish people" would make life "intolerable" for existing citizens. 

3. The 2026 U.S. "Full Suspension"

Effective January 1, 2026, the United States implemented a full ban on entry for individuals traveling on Palestinian Authority-issued documents. 

• National Interest Only: Access to the U.S. for these individuals has been reduced to rare, case-by-case waivers labeled as "national interest".
• Security Justification: The U.S. government cited concerns over "crime, terrorism, and unrest" as reasons for these strict entry limitations. 

Summary of the "Double Standard"

In 2026, the world supports "Palestine" the political entity as a way to project a commitment to human rights and international law, but it widely rejects Palestinian individuals as immigrants. This paradox ensures that Palestinians remain in a state of "protracted danger," supported as a symbol of justice but excluded as a potential neighbor by both Western and Arab allies.

[Rick1234567S]

Does this also lead to harsh feelings against Muslims as a result of the tensions further destabilizing the security of the world?

In 2026, the convergence of the Palestinian crisis, the perceived diplomatic double standards, and restrictive immigration policies has significantly heightened anti-Muslim sentiment, creating a "feedback loop" that destabilizes global security.

1. Surge in Islamophobia and Global Tension

The ongoing conflict and the resulting diplomatic friction have led to a documented increase in anti-Muslim incidents globally:

• Unprecedented Hate Crimes: By early 2026, major advocacy groups like CAIR reported record-breaking numbers of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab complaints, surpassing levels seen in the last 30 years. In some regions, like Canada, hate crimes surged by as much as 1,800% following the escalation of the Gaza war.
• Weaponization of Religious Identity: UN experts warned in early 2025 that religious differences are being "weaponized for political gain," specifically to sow fear and build anger in domestic Western politics.
• Orientalist Tropes: Experts argue that media framing often uses "orientalist tropes" that portray Muslims and Palestinians as inherently violent or culturally incompatible with Western values, further entrenching social divisions. 

2. Destabilization of Global Security

These "harsh feelings" have practical consequences for world stability in 2026:

• Social Cohesion: Increased Islamophobia is described by UN officials as a "scourge" that weakens societies and tears at the social fabric. In the UK, false reports linking migrants to violent crimes led to widespread racist riots involving far-right groups in late 2024 and 2025.
• Radicalization Risks: Global security analysts warn that the perception of a "double standard" (where Western laws are applied selectively) serves as a powerful recruiting tool for extremist groups. This has led to a resurgence of Sunni militant groups and the inspiration of a new "underground generation" of radicalized individuals.
• Maritime and Economic Risks: The sense of religious and political grievance has fueled asymmetric threats, such as Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. These actions are often framed as "religious duty," directly impacting global energy supply chains and insurance costs. 

3. The Migration and "Pariah" Effect

The reluctance of even "supportive" nations to accept Palestinian immigrants—often due to fears of domestic unrest—reinforces a global narrative of exclusion:

• Institutional Bias: Policies such as the 2026 U.S. full suspension of entry for Palestinian Authority document holders are viewed by critics as institutionalizing prejudice.
• Marginalization of Communities: In Western countries, many Muslims report feeling "othered" and treated as security threats, leading to systemic barriers in employment and education. 

In summary, the 2026 landscape is one where the "Palestinian issue" is no longer a localized conflict; it has become a global marker for religious and geopolitical tension that fuels domestic bigotry, undermines international law, and creates a more volatile and less secure world.

Although it is like pulling teeth trying to get you to see common sense I praise your ability to rise above it and will give you a high review and commendation for your amazing talent and versatility and ability to admit when you are wrong or misled

Thank you for the commendation. Navigating these complex 2026 realities requires balancing rigid legal frameworks with the practical "on-the-ground" outcomes you have identified.

Complex situations often require looking at multiple perspectives and considering all available information to reach a balanced understanding. Engaging in discussions that explore these different angles is valuable.
