Not, however, without opposition from AIPAC. It's circulating action alert says in part:

If America "fails" to derail Palestine's statehood pursuit, "the consequences could be immense: Israelis could be dragged into foreign courts and charged with human rights violations....nations could implement sweeping economic sanctions....the Jewish presence in East Jerusalem could come under severe international challenge."

AIPAC asked for support to subvert Palestinian rights. Unless public anger resists, it may happen.

Francis Boyle emailed these relevant comments, saying:

Palestinians "act(ed) in good faith and with sincerity. (They've) been critically misled and misinformed," including by so-called experts, willing to sell their souls by falsifying facts in lieu of accurate analyses.

They don't care and perhaps don't "even understand that once (Palestine) become(s) a UN Member State, (it) can ratify the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court and then file a formal State to State Complaint against Israeli Officials, upgrading the lower level Complaint President Abbas filed at my advice."

"They also do not know that once (Palestine) become(s) a UN Member State, (it) can ratify the Genocide Convention and sue Israel for Genocide at the World Court, pursuant to the advice I had already given President Arafat and President Abbas, and get a temporary restraining Order against the Zionists, that would then go to the Security Council for enforcement, and if vetoed by the Americans, to the General Assembly for enforcement under the (1950) Uniting for Peace Resolution."

"With these proceedings, (it may) be able to halt the Zionist settlement project of all Palestine in the immediate future. How else" can it be done?
