Nadine,
from a recent article:
Beilin said Israelis and Palestinians are "thirsting for a solution" to the conflict and the co-authors' goal is to rally public opinion to persuade both sides to use the plan as a basis for a comprehensive final peace settlement.
end snip

The ultras on each side will never solve anything; support by the center and left on each side is essential if two peaceful states are ever to be attained. The center/left are not now in power in Israel, but have been and could be. On the other hand, it's hard to tell whether much of a center/left even _exists_ among Palestinians. To the extent a Palestinian center/left does exist, it remains essentially invisible--death threats and executions probably have something to do with that.

Beilin may yet "rally public opinion" among the Palestinians. Or quite possibly, he may be a lone wolf howling in the wind. To the extent that that proves true, there's no need to further ponder the GA--it's going nowhere.
