True that the Arab Spring will get to Palestine sooner than later with the UN approach by the PNA . THE PROBLEM IS THAT Israel insists on negotiating it's wish list as seen by it's extremist settlers . Isreal's response to the Arab Spring is further settlements and the US declared to The Paalestinians that it's relationship with Israel is strategic Nd unwaverig even if Obama cannot ask the Israeli's to agree to a freeze of settlements. The US message to the Palestinians is pretty much go and find yourselves another forum. The situation as it stands will have many casualties least of which is the bloodshed in Ramallah and Jerusalem. All concerned have ignored the changing times in the region . The position the US takes in the UN will have political capital, Israel is underestimating the anger of the youth , and the PNA will have to choose whether it is part of the Old Arab regime or is it their to represent the people's aspirations all bets are that it will see itself as a threatened regime and will act similar to the Libyan and Syrian and Yemeni regimes .
