Subject: RE: BS: Palestine welcomed into the UN fold
Net result for the ordinary Palestinian refugee: a temporary feeling of achievement.
Period.
Ironically, the vote should add to the prestige of the 77-year-old Mahmoud Abbas of the PLO, the internationally recognized President of the Palestinian National Authority, who is committed to a peaceful two-state solution.
Instead the violent missilemen of Hamas will get the credit.
Net result for the region: negative.
