Palestinians hold placards depicting Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's face superimposed with a dog's face during a protest in the West Bank city of Ramallah November 28, 2012. More European states joined France on Wednesday in backing a Palestinian bid for limited statehood, but Britain held back, saying it wanted an assurance that the Palestinians would not pursue Israel through the International Criminal Court.
