Palestine faced  problems yesterday at the UN General Assembly,  thanks, in part to President Obama.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict that has spanned decades found a new area of discomfort for the President. Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas‘ made a determined effort to earn statehood for the troubled territory at the United Nations.

Many are upset with the UN reaction as well as Obama’s lack of support.

According to, Palestinian-American journalist Ali Abunimah:

A lot was bet on this bid for statehood. It was the last throw of the dice by Abbas, and it came up as bad …. What this all adds up to is absolutely nothing.

Does the United States have time to repair more conflict in the Middle East… with its own problems at home? Or is this just the same old song?
