"What we see here in practice is a clear identity crisis or even a schizophrenic counter flow of aspirations between" two opposing sides - most for it, others against.

It's long past time for responsible parties to stand tall for what's right, regardless of intimidating threats and pressure. It holds for ordinary people as well as nations with UN voting power.

Most important, it holds for PA president Abbas to pursue statehood responsibly. Previous articles said he won't. He signaled it in body language and explicit comments. 

En route to New York, he told reporters:

"We decided to take this step and all hell has broken out against us."

"From now until I give the speech (on September 23), we have only one choice: going to the Security Council. Afterward, we will sit and decide."
