Palestinian leaders are publicly calling for nonviolence in massive protests planned for next month -- but another intifada may well be in the cards.

The Palestinian Authority seeks UN recognition of it as a state -- a resolution that America is expected to veto, based on the belief that Palestinian unilateralism will neither help the Palestinians create a viable state nor pave the path to peace with Israel. Palestinian newspapers report plans for a mass rally the day of the September UN vote, which leaders have called “Palestine 194,” marking their desire to become the UN’s 194th member state.
