if the palestinian authority fails? surely something much worse for israel's interest for america's interest and the region and the failure of the leadership could be inviting the rise of the very thing we want to avoid -- the same extremism in the west bank that we have seen in gaza or from southern lebanon. before anybody gives up op this hope, we have to ask whether we are prepared to live with permanent conflict, with a possibility of widespread civil disobedience, a civil rights movement that grows in the west bank or the threat looming aarp the corner. if the parties don't come back to the table, the palestinians said they will go to the u.n. to join more u.n. organizations where does -- despite the best of the united states, they will get more votes than last time, and last time, we only got nine votes against. the palestinians threatened to take their case to the international criminal court. yes, the united states of america will always have israel's back. we will always stand up for israel's security, but woul
