[2] Arab states sympathetic to Palestine's cause provide military aid through the newly opened Gaza Passage
[3] Russia declares its support for Palestine (in retaliation for the US "recognizing" Kosovo in 2008)
[4] A third intifada in the occupied territories will take place, which has the potential to topple Mahmoud Abbas
[5] The US lose the few remaining 'moderate' allies it has in the Middle East, cementing the new Arab Spring bloc.
Now, Israel has upped the stakes by saying it will REVOKE THE OSLO PEACE ACCORDS if the UN votes in September. Link [ link to gulfnews.com] ------------------------ ------------------------ Now tell me that isn't a powder-keg waiting to blow up. |
