These consistent acts by the US over the past several decades do add up……
(CNN) — The U.N. Security Council held an emergency meeting Saturday, but failed to agree on a statement in response to Israel’s ground offensive launched in Gaza.
Arab nations blamed the United States for blocking a consensus.
“We shared our view in the root cause … that is Hamas continues the rocket attacks and violence,” said U.S. envoy Alejandro Wolff. He said the United States, a permanent council member with veto power, is seeking a sustainable cease-fire in Gaza — “that means no more rocket attacks, no more smuggling bombs.
“We were not able to come to an agreement today,” Wolff said.
Libyan Ambassador Giadalla Ettalhi, who circulated a draft resolution on the crisis at a Security Council meeting last week, said the proposal, which “strongly condemns Israeli military action” and calls on the Jewish state to immediately cease “military attacks against the civilian population,” had wide support among Council members.
“Unfortunately, the delegation of the United States a clear position that is against any product or outcome from this meeting,” Ettalhi said.

Right. Israel should let them fire rockets into Israel whenever they want. Hamas broke the cease fire then goes crying to the UN and media when Israel responds.
The other Muslim nations could do a lot to help by taking the Palestinians in, but they rather have them there in/around Israel constantly in the news as “victims”.

If you think Israel is just a poor victim in all this then you don’t know much about Isael’s history. This post used the current Gaza crisis only to iilustrate the bigger issue which the US’s foreign policy in the ME. Our actions in the ME has been almost exclusively pro-Israel and anti-arab over the past several decades. How would tht make you feel if you were an arab? For such a small country they sure have us by the cajones. Whenever they say jump, we hand them weapons, and a few billion taxpayer dollars, the nask how high.
