Which vote is happening? I have read that the security council is in deadlock or something, does this mean they will try to get a vote from the general assembly friday? Or will they do this at all?
November 11 is the day the Security Council will deliver its report on whether Palestine fulfills the qualifications of a state. Amid all the smoke and mirror language, the report will say that a decision is inconclusive and that a membership committee, consisting of all Council members, was "unable to make" unanimous recommendations, diplomats said about the conclusions to be presented by the Council president, Ambassador José Filipe Moraes Cabral of Portugal.
Lebanon is expected to produce a resolution for Palestine's full membership in the United Nations but that needs a 24-hour notice before a vote. For adoption, a resolution needs a minimum of nine votes in favor and no veto from the five permanent members that includes the United States.
Source Article
Insisting on a vote in the Security Council makes a vote for an upgrade in status in the General Assembly look like a consolation prize. Palestine currently has observer status with no voting rights. Palestinians would have no trouble getting the Assembly to vote in favor of a non-member observer state, like the Vatican. This is an indirect recognition of statehood.............

When the Atomic comes on us, we will writhe and sliver in the agony reserved for the dammned ...for days, if not weeks or months,....those of us who were not liucky enough to melt into the air instantly that is.
WE will know that those who designed this hated empathy just as Satan hated empathy.
We will know that life was serious, not a game.
We will howl and pray , howl and pray ...to God.
