where the u.n.nd some governments, for their own opportunist reasons, stood on the side of preventing war as the charter commands them to do. we may see that over time on the question of palestine. right now, the critical factor is what former u.n. special repertoire on palestine richard faulk has called the struggle for legitimacy. israel is losing the struggle for legitimacy. it is losing that battle the united states. and it is in the context of israel's twiddling legitimacy -- dwindling legitimacy that these moves take place. it is the loss of legitimacy now fundamental to israel's position. >> ali abnimah, the u.s. media's coverage of this, do you think it reflects the differences within palestine, the differences of opinion? >> no, of course it doesn't. the routine mistake that is made is to equate the unelected is really haven't backed u.s.-financed palestinian authority with palestinians. that is a big mistake. the palestinian authority acts despite the palestinians. this is a palestinian au
