Thread drift - for anyone interested:

The UN will vote shortly on whether or not to officially recognise Palestine as an independent state alongside the state of Israel. Most member states have indicated their support it. Although the US have made it clear that they will definitely veto the resolution, other nations bar the US who also oppose the measure - notably in Europe and the Antipodes - could still feasibly be publicly pressured into supporting the measure.

Nearly a million signatories so far - support the Palestinian campaign for statehood:
