    Seems super short sighted for the US - would a two state solution (which, according to the US, is the only solution) not mean giving Palestine UN membership?

    Also, this was a vote to basically allow discussion on membership to move forward to the full assembly, not an actual vote on allowing membership here and now.

    I hope chairman Xi can save us from the Biden junta. ( I don’t even think I’m joking anymore)
