Terrorists are mad at the United States

[Tigermike 3,055]

The United Nations was thwarted yesterday in another attempt to demonize a country trying to protect itself from organized, genocidal terrorist gangs.

John Bolton, acting for the United States: U.S. vetoed condemnation of Gaza strikes.

The Dems have already said they would be pushing to remove Bolton. Why would they want to not confirm someone who always keeps the best interest of the United States first? We’re all going to be in big trouble if they succeed.

Now Palestinian terrorists are angry at the United States—in particular, John Bolton—for refusing to allow the United Nations to be used as a tool for demonizing Israel: Palestinian government slams US veto of Israel resolution.

Agence France Presse, as always, runs the Palestinian propaganda with no balancing viewpoint.

Palestinian government slams US veto of Israel resolution

GAZA CITY (AFP) - The Palestinian government has denounced the US veto of a UN Security Council resolution condemning an Israeli artillery barrage that killed 19 people in the Gaza Strip Wednesday.

"This decision by the American administration clearly means the granting of absolute legitimacy to the massacre and slaughter committed by the occupation forces against the Palestinian people," Ghazi Hamad, the spokesman for the Hamas-led government, said in a statement Sunday.

"This decision means granting the occupation government continuing protection and cover with no limit for its crimes that they commit against innocent civilians in Palestine."

Palestinian militants, meanwhile, vowed to deal with the US as an enemy after the veto.

"America participates with the enemy in these aggressions and we will deal with America as an enemy," Abu Mujahid, a spokesman for the militant Popular Resistance Committees, said in a statement.

Israeli artillery shells slammed into homes in the north Gaza town of Beit Hanoun before dawn Wednesday, resulting in the death of 19 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children. Israel on Saturday hailed the US veto as "very satisfactory" while a spokesman for Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas said it would "encourage Israel to continue its escalation against the Palestinian people."

The text of the draft resolution would have condemned the deadly Israeli raid as well as Palestinian rocket firing from the area, but Washington dismissed it as biased, sparking the fury of Arab states.

The Israeli army said a radar malfunction caused the shells to stray off course and apologized for the deaths, which prompted the ruling Hamas movement to threaten the resumption of suicide attacks inside Israel.
