What is your opinion regarding the Palestinians approaching the UN?

I have always wondered why they did not go to the UN. People, countries, speak of a two state solution all the time. From afar it seems to me most Israelis support the idea. I understand Israel would prefer to work the peace treaty on their own terms, without interference from third parties. But, will the UN putting their foot down help Israel and the US save face? Will they be happy to be able to say, there was not much we could do at that point. Will it feel like a win for the Palestinians and the Arab world, and they save face too, they can let go of the hate talk against Israel, and finally say they want to maintain the peace acheived, that is assuming it finally leads to peace.

How do you think it will really play out in the end? What is your opinion about the situation?

Discuss.

Thanks.
