Palestinian Authority

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY


	For Independence, stop at New York Decades of peace talks have led nowhere. Now the Palestinians plan to take their case to the United Nations, where they believe they can get majority support for an independent Palestine. The question is: Will it work? DAN-CHYI CHUA
	Will this be the year that Israel accedes? Popular protests by the Palestinian people.Their feuding political parties coming together in the name of national unity. Does Israel stand a chance against this growing impetus for the creation of a Palestinian state? DAN-CHYI CHUA
	US: Yes we can but no you can't. The doublespeak of the Obama administration deals a slap in the face for the Palestinians and the UN resolution condemning Israel. What a shame. DAN-CHYI CHUA
	A (rather) wretched state of affairs and Obama's chance to change it The Palestinian Authority maneuvers an obstacle course on the path to statehood, and today it goes to the United Nations with a vote against Israel. Question: Will the Americans help or hinder it? DAN-CHYI CHUA
	Peace at what price and at whose expense? Zippadee-doo-da, zippadee-yay, peace talks are starting on a wonderful September day! But wait, why aren't the Palestinians celebrating? DAN-CHYI CHUA
