World Less Indulgent of Mahmoud Abbas' Tantrums
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - While the Palestinians have chosen to play the petulant child with the Americans, boycotting them and calling both Trump and the members of his Mideast team vicious names, serious countries facing serious threats they need the U.S. to help them deal with don't have that luxury. In 2017, when the Palestinians led a charge at the UN against America's decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem, the U.S. was isolated and had to use its veto for the first time in six years against a resolution against the move. The failure of the Palestinians on Tuesday to ram a resolution against the Trump Plan through the Security Council is just the latest example of a UN that is no longer an arena where the Palestinians can score a slam dunk at will.
