ABBAS REBUKES OBAMA – Submits UN Statehood Bid (Video)

More Smart Power…
Last year Obama cracked the door open – Today the Palestinians rushed in.
Earlier this week Barack Obama announced that he would oppose a Palestinian move for statehood. But it didn’t matter…
Today Fatah President Mahmoud Abbas submitted a formal request for Palestinian statehood at the United Nations.
The AP reported:
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 troubled negotiations in the hope this dramatic move on the world stage would reenergize their quest for an independent homeland.
In the West Bank, the core of that hoped-for state, a Palestinian man was shot dead in a clash with Israeli soldiers and settlers as antagonisms flared over the statehood bid.
Earlier in the week, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas rebuffed an intense, U.S.-led effort to sway him from the statehood bid, saying he would submit the application to U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon as planned.
“We’re going without any hesitation and continuing despite all the pressures,” Abbas told members of the Palestinian diaspora at a hotel in New York on Thursday night. “We seek to achieve our right and we want our independent state.” Shortly before noon on Friday, Ban’s spokesman tweeted, “President Abbas just handed the Palestinian application to the Secretary-General UNSG.”
In his letter to Ban accompanying the application, Abbas asked the U.N. chief to immediately forward the request for full U.N. membership to the Security Council and the General Assembly, according to a top aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity before the documents were submitted. The General Assembly will likely be asked to approve a more modest status upgrade if the bid in the council founders as expected.

Now comes the crux of the situation, will this administration actually follow through on its stated position and veto the bid? I have grave doubts about it.

Abbas” Jew free state”

“They talk to us about the Jewish state, but I respond to them with a final answer: We shall not recognize a Jewish state,” Abbas said in a meeting with some 200 senior representatives of the Palestinian community in the US, shortly before taking the podium and delivering a speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

Since no one in our government will rebuke him, I suppose I’m glad someone did.
kansas commented:
Here’s a scenario. The Palestinians get their statehood. Militants fire rockets into Israel from Palestine. Israel declares war on Palestine. Oopsie.

Nothing says legitimacy like a slingshot and a mask.

This makes me sick to my stomach. I hate you, Comrade Hussein, with every cell in my body.

Likewise FurryGuy I don’t trust this current regime to support Israel. Assuming they are reading the re-election tea leaves and how they can weasel out of it and still pretend they support the only democracy in the Middle East. I expect this current rogue regime to do the oppose of what they say. Most Americans support Israel and not the terrorists.
wanumba commented:
Double standards!!! What did South Sudan have to do to be recognized after 50 years of civil war with actual genocide by the Khartoum Islamic regime against SOuth Sudanese?
Win the war. Peace Treaty, Cessation of hostilies, negotiated and agreed upon borders, step-by-step withdrawal, step by step process for regional governance, regional elections, census to establish voting age population, registration for Referendum, national VOTE observed by all watchdog organizations.
Rules rules, procedures procedures …
Palestinians? Touf! Fake genocide. “Refugee camps” with the world’s highest population growth rate that are indistinguishable from cities with full city services and city amenities, fully equipped schools, chubby kids with iPods and candies who have enough disposable income to be easily able to send money to feed starving war orphans in South Sudan.
Never. Whatever. Gimme.

How ’bout this: if the UN approves even a tiny recognition of the Palis, the USA revokes, cancels, blockades-all-the-roads-to the UN. In effect they are asked to leave. Told to go to Geneva, Switzerland. It would be the clearest messge to the world and he land couldbe used forsomefabulous developmentand JOBS,Jobs, jobs in the trades. Low-hanging fruit. and no more checks fromtheUsa. The Saudis and the chinese can bankroll it.

Is there ANY world leader that respects Obama?
Other than Castro and Chavez that is?
BuddyG commented:
So, if they become an “officially recognized” nation, how will they celebrate this accomplishment each year?
National Blow-Up a Bus day ?

Pawn’d,
President Barack Shiitehead,
Interesting commented:
This is the CHANGE America voted for.
Redwine commented:
Did the filthy “mother” of terrorist murderers lauded by the fake “Palestinians” deliver the bid?
MikeO commented:
Am I the only one who thinks this whole Palestinian state UN Vote may be a bit of staged Kabuki theater, where Obama gets to give a speech and ‘save’ Israel? The Palestinians would certainly want to help Obama’s re-election chances (because in a second term, he can do anything he wants for them) . And After the vote in NY9, the Obama team might think they needed something.
mmm commented:
DO not forget that Obama promised Abbas there would be a Palestinian state!!! Obama was NOT rebuked by Abbas’ actions.
mmm commented:
Obama layed the ground work and then claims clean hands…….EVIL.
Ella commented:
#16 MikeO, I think you are right. My theory is that publicly IWonWTF supposedly stands with Israel to save his hinie with the Jewish lobby in the US, but who knows what was privately agreed upon with the Pallies. I’m sure they have his blessing, rushing forward with their statehood quest. IWonWTF doesn’t mind AT ALL.
What he says and what he actually does are two completely different things. This man cannot be trusted, but we already knew that, didn’t we.
J commented:
Define the borders to their country and send them a message…..no more money from the USA and take ONE WRONG STEP and the USA AND Israel will obliterate you.
Molon Labe commented:
But I thought the Arabs would work with Obama in peace and harmony. Just like the Chinese, Russians, Venezuela, Iran and the rest of the world.
Oh well, he can always blame Hildabeast. Now there’s someone I don’t want calling me at 3 in the morning.
ohiochili commented:
mmm, I agree totally…
The messiah WANTS this. He’s been setting the stage for this since the first day he took office.

I would love to know what was really said in that phone call.
Patty commented:
Yes, this president has created a mess once again. 73% of Palestinians what to KILL THE JEWS.
If they become a statehood there will be Armageddon and the Blood will be on All including Obama.
BurmaShave commented:
Wait for it: Pretty soon Obama will be calling Abbas a Republican.
mg4us commented:
It is time for the US to cut off ALL aid and support for the Palestinians. . .
Is Obama man enough to do it? Guess not. .this is all his making. . Obama started it and he wants to see it happen. .Obama hates Jews and Israel. . .
And Obama hates Democracy!
Just like he hates America!
