Anybody who thinks Palestine will get a seat with or without our support in the current political climate are p*ssing into the wind.

They are so close to getting the three quarters required yet it is the western industrial nation block that are standing in the way.

And as already stated, within these nations like Australia, the majority support Palestine's bid.

Go figure ... it's a few guys in high places, that are standing in the way of the majority of humans ... again !

Really?

Whaen was that vote? When did we get asked that question?

I'd say the majority couldn't give 2 hoots. I'd be happy if i didn't hear about the ME ever again.

Unless you have the support of the United States woody it all means jack-sh*t.

Veto power my friend.

PS - Have a glance through what has been the subject of over 80% of the USA's historical use of the veto.
