<<the effect of using the international community to try to pressure Israel is already very cheering to the Palestinians>> And the effect of using the international community to try to pressure the Palestinians is already very cheering to the Israelis.
BTW, Bush, Carter, Clinton, Powell, Annan and Wolfowitz (hey there's a rainbow of actors on the world stage!)AND a third of Israeli citizens don't share the "hysteria" approach to the GA. But hey, what do they know?
The "hysteria" approach to the GA (the Swiss piece of paper destroys sovereignty, brings an end to the Israeli State, causes Jews to argue amongst themselves, gnashing of teeth, tearing of cloth) seems to emanate from Likudniks. Remember, it's a proposal for a voluntary resolution, there are no Swiss armies training for an occupation!
Truth of the matter is, no sitting government wants to see citizens rally toward a tangible expression of impatience with its policy and timing. As I see it, the hyperventilation we're hearing from that camp is driven by political fear, nothing more.
