The thing is... it is Obama's fault for not realizing Abu Mazen AKA Abbas would twist his words. I wonder if Obama will start to realize what he is dealing with? An ego like Obama could very well do an about face with this kind of shenanigan. What is worse is the Palestinians aren't even taking Obama seriously. I almost feel bad for Obama and I suspect that Obama could surprise all of us and really get rough on the Palestinians. Don't mess with the OBAMA!

Zakariya al-Agha, the PLO's top representative in the Gaza
Strip... said that the PA was going to the UN because US President
Barack Obama, in his last speech to the UN in 2010, talked about the
establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state within
one year.
The Palestinian Authority laid further
blame on
Obama by citing a last minute offer from the Obama administration to
renew negotiations. Palestinian leader Nabil Shaath claims to have been so insulted
by the offer that they made the final decision to go to the U.N.
then and there.
what was it that Obama said?
“two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security, as part of a comprehensive peace between Israel and all of its neighbors.”
The denied Correlative: Two States in Obama's mind should be negotiated and should not be forced unilaterally. There should not be a Palestine at all, but to act like as if Obama demanded a state without negotiations is a lie.
