So the Palestianians asked to upgrade their status at the UN. The UN agreed, voting 38-9 in favor, with 41 countries abstaining. The only "NO" votes were the US, Israel, and the following world powers,...Canada, the Czech Republic, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, and Panama.

Now the US congress wants to penalize the Palestinians for even bringing it up.

"One important way of expressing U.S. disapproval would be to send the message that such actions are not cost-free and that, at a minimum, they result in setbacks to U.S.-Palestinian relations," said the letter sent Dec. 21, initiated by the incoming and outgoing leaders of both parties on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and signed by 239 members, including leaders such as Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the majority leader, and Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), the minority whip.   

"We can do this by closing the PLO office in Washington, D.C.  We can also call our Consul-General in Jerusalem home for consultations," the letter said.
