France had prepared to vote for Palestinian statehood: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/22/world/middleeast/france-breaks-with-obama-on-palestinian-statehood-issue.html?_r=1 Our polite and ever politically correct "west" seems unable to firmly and meaningfully confront the people of Gaza and the West Bank over the character and machinations of Hamas and remnant PLO that given license maintain their grip on political power. What Obama and Sarkozy wish to tender as overtures to the "Arab world", an adulterated and perhaps ambiguous term if ever there was for the bloc that hates Israel, Jews, democracy, and the United States, for starters, has become the weakness that invites war and furthers the indignities suffered by refugees who have been played as pawns in an ugly game for better than 60 years.
