At least he is getting back on the right track by supporting Israel against the heathen Arabs.
What do you think of the ridiculous Palestinian bid for stateship btw Miles? I think it's a joke. How can Abbas strive to be President of a state that he only half controls

He's not even allowed in Gaza which is controlled by Hamas, they can't even agree on a time zone over there, as Hamas and the PA both have their own time zone.
Plus how come the world isn't denouncing Abbas for blatently violating the 1993 Oslo accords by appealing directly to the UN to recognise a Palestinian state and breaking away from the negotiating table with Israel?
Plus he will ruin Palestine in the process. Hamas are oppsed to it so the internal divisions will deepen. Anerican aid, $500,000,000 per year will likely be stopped, as will all Israeli tax aid.
He is an idiot. Luckily the US will veto the plan, and hopefully Britain will be smart enough to too. However he is likely to get non member, observer status which will allow him to take endless grievances against Israel to the International courts. This will just increase the pressure in the middle East.
When the situation is already volatile following the Arab Spring and growing anti Semitism in Egypt, Turkey's mad ruler Erdogan wanting some sort of clash with Israel and Iran trying to get the atom bomb, Abbas's barmy idea is at least very well timed. The UN is full of anti semites so he will likely get the non member observer status he wants, but after that Palestine will be far worse off than before. Their economy, currently growing at 7% a year will go backwards again and he will ruin his people.
Well done idot man.
