Approval requires at least nine votes in favour, with no vetoes. The UNSC’s five permanent members – the US, Russia, China, France and Britain – hold vetoes.

But the US has indicated that its opposition to Palestinian member status in the UN, in the absence of a broader deal with Israel, stays intact.

“Our position has not changed,” Robert Wood, US deputy ambassador to the UN, said last week.

    Oh boy. For one, they’re fascists oppressing Palestinians. For two, they’re the Palestinian version of the Kahanites keeping the conflict boiling.

    Hamas is not the PLO and unless you’re an ass-backwards Islamist, they’re definitely not on your side.

      So you want Palestinians to be completely un armed and surrender like how Germans did with jews? I believe germany did not do a good job re educating.

            I was off-handedly lauding the PLO and you call me a Zionist. The PLO, contains armed faction, btw, hence the “brand new sentence” thing.

            Yep, both of you really don’t know what you’re talking about.

      oh boy

      Yeah, that immediately makes me not take you seriously.

      Whenever someone approaches me as though they’re automatically correct, I just toss their assertions out the window because they’re usually wrong.

      Try to argue better 😬

        Ok: PLO are left-wing freedom fighters, Hamas are Islamofascist nutjobs financed by the Israeli right-wing to discredit Palestinian liberation. Is that better?
