Secretary of State John Kerry has informed a top Palestinian negotiator that the US is going to veto the Jordanian version of a UN resolution calling for an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank within two years.
US officials did say they were open to supporting a resolution that contained “no unilateral measures” and which did not predetermine the outcome of negotiations over the occupation.
Whether that means the US is open to the French alternative, a watered-down bill that simply calls for a resumption of peace talks within two years, remains to be seen.
Israeli officials are pressing for the US to veto both resolutions, however, saying anything that pressures them to negotiate is a threat to regional stability. The US has traditionally vetoed any resolution Israel objects to even a little.
Surprise, surprise. The master yells jump, the dog asks, "How high?". Finally the palestinians will understand who wags the dogs tail and that wishing or waiting for help from the dog is a futile exercise. Hopefully they will also realize how complicit Fatah is in maintaining the status quo and how great a quisling Abbas is in the process.
Yeah, somehow a few million Jews on the planet have more money than all the Arab oil sheiks?
More influence and wealth than all the twenty-times-as-many Muslims on the planet?
I don't want to say you're paranoid. I'll leave it to others to say you're paranoid.
Truth is, American politicians back Israel because a healthy majority of American voters back Israel over the Arabs. Polls have shown it, over and over.
Why? Because we know Israelis are like us. And they don't send little kids to clear mine fields, use suicide bombs, hold their little girls down while their little girls parts are sliced up. They don't throw acid in the face of their women for not wearing the right scarf. They don't hang homosexuals for being homosexuals.
No, Israel just one of the world's league leaders in human trafficking- Tier 1…and they are like US? So were the whites in South Africa. LOL. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trafficking_in…
Israel certainly has more wealth and influence inside the US G than all the Muslims put together. It isn't a secret unless you have your head buried up in your anus. And maybe you do. That's fine, a lot of AmeriKans do. It helps them survive.
Do Kongressmen run to Saudi Arabia when first elected? No.
Do they have to be vetted and approved by any Arab orgs. before running for office? No.
You wanna back a glorified racist settler state, go right ahead. But don't shame anyone else for calling a spade a spade.
AmeriKan politicians don't need to back Israel – it is a foreign country. Just like Italy, but I'd wager Italians are a bit more popular than israeli jews. They only do it to score political points and they know the acres of Jew money in US politics makes that possible. It's no secret, they even crow about it themselves.
"Yeah, somehow a few million Jews on the planet have more money than all the Arab oil sheiks? "
Certainly more influence. How many US politicians do you see lining up to bow to Arab shieks compared to the coterie that line up to AIPAC events? When was the last time an Arab Shiek was invited to address Congress?
"Truth is, American politicians back Israel because a healthy majority of American voters back Israel over the Arabs. "
False. American politicians back Israel in spite of the opinions of American voters. Polls show that American voters are opposed to continuing aid to Israel for example.
"Why? Because we know Israelis are like us."
Wrong. In fact polls show that Israeli Jews don't believe Americans Jews are like them.
wealthy jews are a lot more unified than wealthy arabs, have a look at GOLDman SACKS and their influence.
Americans like the Israeli because of all the false propaganda spread by the Israeli controlled press, not because Israelis are likable.
"US officials did say they were open to supporting a resolution that contained “no unilateral measures” and which did not predetermine the outcome of negotiations over the occupation"
And yet the US stands by while Israel conducts every unilateral measure it wills, and vetoes measure to reign in or even simply admonish those unilateral measures – and all those unilateral measures lead to a known predetermined outcome. The US is a thug nation, and the centre for all the world's hypocrisies.
Shocking. The US once again doing what it's pet Chihuahua with rabies orders.
No matter who is in the house, these people are hired to be in the house.
I'm shocked- SHOCKED, I tell you- to find the US doing as it always has regarding Israeli affairs.
So the Zionist can continue its murder mayhem land grabbing starvation god bless America.
US congress /US Knesset really/ is israels most valuable "occupaid territory". Traditionally will US act like always,like TRUTH PARTNER IN CRIME against palestine people . against peace. US is truth sponzor of terorrism, either ME, Asia, Africa and now Ukraine.
Israel has been under US protection actively sponsoring terrorism in ME and elswhere, while working on "dream" creating Greater Israel….
Untill this duo/US and Isreal/ is able create chaos and terrorism with "perfect Goebless like propaganda" around the World – then prospect of WORLD PEACE will be just a dream.
Lets hope "the dying dollar hegemony" could ease the situacion, but I doubt it, as top oficials and those "behind" are criminals and crazy sadists ever…

This the same US that coerced many countries to vote for the establishment of the state of Israel on Palestinian land that did not possess against the objections of the inhabitants of the Land who were the overwhelming majority. who were allocated the smallest and disjointed area of land .While the minority were gifted with the largest unbroken best area.Then Israel was declared independent unilaterally by European invaders.
Interestingly the first government which recognized the state of Israel was not ours. It was Stalin's USSR.
Question: I wonder if you're aware yet that there are dozens of deadly Islamic terror attacks on civilians worldwide every single month. Many of these attacks have nothing to do with Israel, Jews or the USA.
Here's the question: how do you explain all these deadly Islamic attacks if you can't blame the Jews?
Islamic terrorists kidnapping girls in Nigeria? Islamic terrorists slicing up shoppers in China. Shooting teachers in Thailand and the Philippines. With no Jews involved, who should we blame?
Or can we talk ab out the real reason for all these attacks? Imagine if we could accept the fact that Islam is simply a violent, expansionist, warlike beliefs system?
…and those attacks are not committed by the Palestinians, either. Furthermore, stop conflating the "Jews" with Israeli policy, and the "Palestinians" with Arabs or Muslims. That's an old, old AIPAC TACTIC.
" violent, expansionist, warlike beliefs system" that really defines and illustrate the actions of the US and Israel through the years.Can you explain what happened in Rwanda,has been happening in South Sudan,Congo,Mexico ,and the many killing and attacks on schools and drive in theater in the USA?Islam has nothing to do with it and you know that but demagogues like you continue to define Islam by the actions of those who claim to act in its name.You are not against violent acts but against Muslims and Islam only.You would support and cheer any war and attacks against Muslims and the killing of Muslims.You are so blinded by your hatred and ignorance of Islam and Muslims you could not see that the above segment had nothing to do with Islam.
Israel Uber Alles Hausfrau and your 2 comments: The religion itself is wonderful and like Xtianity and Judaism, we shouldn't let a few lunatics ruin it for everyone else. I met so many Muslims who are deep and kind, generous to a fault.
Well not Judaism because that's actually just Satanism with a funny hat.
Read the Talmud to see what Jews really think of non-Jews. If you are still deep-throating the kosher salami after that, then there really is no hope for you. I won't even bother to go into AmeriKa's self-made enemies or the Oded Yinon plan because that will go right over your head.
Check out Pam Geller's website, another hate-filled hosebag shrew. You'd fit right in over there with the other anti-Islamic tards pointlessly fighting a billion and a half people with every drop of blood and last dollar AmeriKa has.
But keep posting it makes me laugh. Plus you earn those few hasbarat shekels you can use to buy a new shmata for bubbeleh.
"I wonder if you're aware yet that there are dozens of deadly Islamic terror attacks on civilians worldwide every single month. "
I wonder if you are aware that there are more terrorist attacks by Jews in the US than Islam? Hwo do you explain that?
and more than a dozen attacks on palestiinians DAILY.
Dear AIPAC: Would you please draft me a press release, explaining to the American people why I am not a spineless, cowardly traitor to my nation and the Constitution that I unfortunately had to swear to uphold and defend? Your slavish servant, President Barack Obama.
For there to be peace in Palestine the Zionist occupation of America has to end first.
This type of thing shows just how much the UN needs to be reformed. We have a few nations with extremely disproportionate power over what will or will not happen due to the over-use of their veto power. When are the other nations going to wise up and stop this nonsense?
