Keeping Palestinian Hopes Alive

++ The New York Times editorial page--that's all the editors--urge true United Nations not to veto the Security Council's resolution on Palestine, which the United States has done before. 

++The UN resolution calls for the creation of a Palestinian state along the 1967 lines and for the return of Palestinians. Some of the Palestinians would be allowed to return to Israel. 

++The New York Times reasons that this would forestall the Palestinians taking Israel to the ICC for war crimes. (I doubt it.)

++This is an amazing editorial in light of the diplomatic flap between Bibi and President Obama.

++If the United States gets a deal with Iran, I bet the US vetoes the resolution. If not, they will let it slide past.

++The Palestinians are talking this week about whether to continue their security agreements with Israel.

++The other proposal I have heard is for the United States to leak the Palestinian and Israel agreement reached when Livini was the negotiator and vetoed by Bibi.
