U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton begged Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas, on September 6, to: “…work hard with us to avoid a negative scenario in New York. “
That “negative scenario” is the United Nations recognition of a Palestinian state!
Clinton then sent U.S. envoys to personally beg Abbas to stop the UN vote!
Abbas says it is now clear that the United States is not sincere in its claims of wanting peace for the Palestinians! (about time he figured that out, Palestinian Hamas has been correct all this time)
Palestinian Liberation Organization Secretary General Yasser Abed Rabbo, said this about U.S. President Barack Obama’s policy towards Palestinians, and Arabs in general: “The subject is not settlements, or Palestinian independence or the rights of the Palestinian people, or halting the criminal violations perpetrated by the [Israeli] settlers against the Palestinian people. All this is being ignored and the only issue has become the issue of us not going to the United Nations. This shows not only disdain for the Palestinian position, but also scorn for what is happening in the Arab region.“
