Israel: All deals are off with Palestinians if UN vote goes ahead?

And would that be a bad thing? One of the agreements was that Palestinians would not pursue accusations of Geneva violations in International courts. This is why UN recognition is so vital. Israel claims that many conventions and laws do not apply because they are between nations. A Palestinian nation could petition for UN observers, and a third party decision between borders as per international law and custom. It is the pinnacle of hypocrisy for Israel to deny Palestine the exact same road it itself took in 1948. Israel used the strong arm tactics of the USA to push its acceptance through (it took two votes BTW).
