China, the Palestinians, and (University of Michigan Professor) Juan Cole



University of Michigan comedian Juan Cole has posted another "blockbuster" article on his curiously-named blog, Informed Comment. It concerns the latest diplomatic power move by the Chinese government. It seems China has agreed to try and get "Palestine", led by President-for-life Mahmoud Abbas, into the "prestigious" Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Even more exciting than that, China has expressed a desire to mediate that elusive Middle East peace between Israel and the Palestinians. We now take you live to Informed Comment for the exciting details.

Of course, as the article points out, the other members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization must agree to the inclusion of "Palestine". And just who are the other members?

No doubt they will all agree to the inclusion of "Palestine" into the family of peace-loving nations. Maybe they can even send Juan Cole as a special envoy to the Middle East to bring about a "just and peaceful end" to the conflict.
