amid harsh Palestinian criticism of US;
PA slams American 'bias,'
Ramallah protestors hold racist anti-US rally,
refer to Obama by skin color
WASHINGTON - The United States vetoed the Palestinian proposal to condemn settlement construction by Israel at the United Nations Security Council Friday. The other 14 Council members voted in favor of the draft resolution. But the US, as one of the five permanent council members with the power to block any action by the Security Council, voted against it and struck it down....
Phewf.
.... Meanwhile, the Fatah movement organized a rally in Ramallah to support the Palestinian anti-settlement push and slam the US. The demonstration features racist elements, as protestors carried signs referring to Obama by his skin color, reading "Washington – the black hands support occupation and colonial thinking."
The protestors lauded President Mahmoud Abbas for ignoring US pressure to withdraw the UN proposal.
Methinks perchance the Pals are .
Happy Good Shabbes ... with seven minutes to spare!
