Palestinian UN status can no longer be blocked

Despite all of Israel's threats of 100% aid cut offs, collected taxes not remitted, and refusing to discuss a peace settlement or their WMD programs, Palestinian UN status is marching forward. The future is on its side, and not on Israel's.

The Security Council cannot block the non-member status vote, which will certainly pass. The Israelis are retreating to their second line of defense and have revealed for all to see a long time Achilles heel, a possible fatal one.

We got a clue today, not really a surprise, that Britain would back the non-member status which allows bringing cases to the criminal court, IF Abbas agrees to relinquish the right to do so. I am not making this up.

Britain wants to make an already very limited UN standing on an almost empty one, which would just be another Palestinian leadership humiliation the Israelis love doing so much. The Likuds don't want to see a stream of Israeli political and military leaders in the dock for crimes against humanity.
