DESCRIPTION:Mahmoud Abbas, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and 
 President of the Palestinian Authority (PA), has made a formal request to 
 the United Nations for recognition of the State of Palestine.  The United 
 States has vowed to veto the effort, which requires approval of the UN 
 Security Council.  Both moves are rife with uncertainty and the possibility 
 of unforeseen repercussions.\n\nWas this a good strategic move by the 
 Palestinians? How will the US veto of a Palestinian state be viewed by 
 other Arab and Middle Eastern countries?  Will the Palestinian effort to 
 gain formal recognition as a state -- whether or not it is vetoed by the US 
 -- help propel new movement in the so-called "peace process" or will it 
 mark the end of those efforts?\n\nOur guest, Joel Beinin, one of the 
 country's top experts on the Israel-Palestine conflict, will attempt to 
 answer these and many other questions this new direction in the 
 long-lasting conflict will no doubt inspire.\n\nBeinin will also give us a 
 report on his latest trip to the region, where he continues his reasearch 
 for a new book about young Israelis and Palestinians organizing together to 
 demand justice for Palestinians and an end to the Israeli occupation.\n\nBe 
 a part of our studio audience!\n\nYou are always an important part of each 
 program as we turn to our in-studio audience and viewers at home for 
 questions and comments. Home viewers can call 650-856-1491 to 
 participate.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/09/28/18691658.php
