Listen to the video below (from MorningJoe.com) concerning the discussion of President Obama's actions this week towards the Palestinians and their bid to be officially recognized by the United Nations as a state. In the video, Maen Areikat, the Chief Palestinian Negotiator to the US, argues the purpose of going forward with the UN vote is to create an equal playing field for the Palestinians at the negotiation table with the Israeli's. President Obama has been scrambling around in an attempt to avert this from occurring. The video above, provided by the AP, explains the different acts Obama has taken to undermine the Palestinians. It is also believed Obama will choose to vote against the Palestinians in the security council and could administrate a US veto.Areikat says if America does anything but vote for the Palestinian state at the UN, it will be viewed as a move to derail and prevent the Palestinians from moving forward. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the single most important issue for America in the Middle East. America has historically been viewed as biased and the enabler of the oldest occupation - the Israeli Military Occupation of Palestine - by Arabs and Muslims throughout the world. Osama bin Laden cited the US's involvement in the Conflict as one of the main driving forces behind al Qaeda's motivation.Poll after poll shows America is primarily disliked by the Arab people because of its support of Israel in its oppression of the Palestinians. Throughout the conflict, America has armed the Israeli's to the teeth to fight against a civilian population. The US has also historically exercised a veto for Israel in the UN Security Council to prevent any international condemnation for war crimes and human rights violations Israel commits against the Palestinians. With this in mind, what is Obama thinking? Listen to the videos provided and think about the consequences of his decisions. Is he doing the right thing? Is it in the best interests of America?
What Obama did was not only not in US interest, but actually will cause a lot of damage to our credibility in the Middle East and elsewhere. There was no US Interest in not voting for the state of Palestine and supporting the PA's move.
