Despite Obama’s lecture, The Palestinians went ahead and presented their statehood bid at the UN.
UNITED NATIONS – Defying U.S. and Israeli opposition, Palestinians asked the United Nations on Friday to accept them as a member state, sidestepping nearly two decades of failed negotiations in the hope this dramatic move on the world stage would reenergize their quest for an independent homeland.
Shortly after submitting the application to U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was greeted by sustained applause and appreciative whistles as he approached the dais to deliver a speech outlining his people’s hopes and dreams of becoming a full member of the United Nations.
The Palestinians like all Arabs live ina fantasy world. This is a failure of Obama’s policies.
