President Obama praised the way Arabs in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia had seized their freedom in his speech recently. On the contrary, he urged the Palestinians to give up their statehood bid. It seems that The president's speech was more about the politics of his own re-election bid next year. Mr. Obama told the UN General Assembly the Palestinians deserve their own state, but that this would only be achieved through talks with Israel. Who did Israel talk to when they got theirs?
"Peace will not come through statements and resolutions at the UN."
"I am convinced that there is no short cut to the end of a conflict that has endured for decades."- (Just Another President) Obama
As long as some countries have the UN veto power, progression could not be made smoothly.
According to a poll, 69 percent of Israelis think that their country should accept United Nations recognition of an independent Palestinian state.
