Expect playing hardball with the rest of the world sooner or later to come back to bite. Now's as good a time as any. In the fullness of time we'll know.
Echoes will be heard in Washington. Your turn is next. Hopefully it's coming sooner than expected. Humanity depends on it.
A Final Comment
On October 28, AP and Haaretz headlined "Palestinian officials: Abbas moving forward with bid for UN recognition," saying:
He's expected to ask General Assembly members to approve upgrading Palestine to "nonmember state" status on November 15 or 29. So far, however, no final decision was made.
"Both dates are symbolic." November 15 is the 24th anniversary of Palestine's 1988 declaration of independence. The State of Palestine exists. The PLO adopted the Palestinian Declaration of Independence.
November 29 is the 65th anniversary of the 1947 UN Partition Plan. It granted 56% of historic Palestine to Jews (with one-third of the population) and 42% to Palestinians.
It designated Jerusalem international city (a corpus separatum - separate body) under a UN Trusteeship Council.
