Mahmoud Abbas was again turning his back on peace with Israel in favor of unilateralism at the UN, it emerged overnight that Abbas has picked out 15 international treaties to join, violating his promise not just to Israel, but to the United States as well. The treaties themselves are all good things – they protect women, children, the disabled, and more – but those things have nothing to do with what Abbas is after: He is trying to circumvent the peace process, and find new international forums in which to attack Israel.
