" My homeland, My homeland
These words were the end of the Model United Nations Palestine 2012, Where the
General Assembly declared Palestine as a Member State at the United Nations. I
could not hold back my tears, wishing that this dream will become a truth one
day. Hundreds of Palestinian young youth had participated in this historical
event which was held in Palestine for the first time, in Rashad al-Shawwa hall.
Model United Nations Palestine 2012 was one of the most unforgettable experiences
I have ever had in my whole life. I felt so proud of being a Palestinian,
working together with my colleagues enthusiastically full of hope that our
voice will be heard some day. The atmosphere of the event was amazing. It
unified the whole Palestinian people under the umbrella of one word “Palestine”.
Those young youth did what their leaders could not. They stand all together in
one Place with shining eyes full of hope and love for their home land, letting go
any kind of hatred. Only one flag was fluttering there, the Palestinian flag
with its amazing colors. The idea of the conference was based on the simulation
of the United Nations in full board. Some people joined the General Assembly,
others joined the ECOSOC, and others joined the UNDP. For me I represented
Germany in the Security Council. The whole experience was a useful one for
every one of us. On the one hand, we showed the world that we can stand for our
cause. On the other hand, now we know how was it when the United Nations refused
Palestine’s membership request , we knew more about the diplomatic life. It was also a kind of cultural exchange. Every
participant had to search for information about the country he represents. The
conference was about three days. Yet the third day was the best when Palestine’s
membership request has been accepted by the General Assembly. Directly, after
announcing this, the beautiful Yassmeen Khader stepped to the stage to sing
Mawtini. Right behind her we stand holding candles. I cannot express how I felt
that moment. I felt like I’m so responsible for every violation towards my
country and my people. I felt responsible for all those martyrs who died for
the sake of their country. As if they were in front of me saying do not let our
blood in vain.
