Langzaam maar zeker groeit ook in het Westen het verzet tegen de dagelijkse terreur van Israel. Desondanks staat de VS vierkant achter het Israelisch terrorisme.

'U.S. Vetoes UN Resolution Condemning Israeli Attack on Gaza, Arab League Lifts Financial Blockade
The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israel's recent attack on the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun that killed at least 19 Palestinian civilians and left dozens wounded. In response, the Arab League announced it would lift the financial blockade on the Palestinians in defiance of the U.S. We go to Ramallah to speak with Diana Butto, the former legal adviser to the PLO.

The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israel's recent attack on the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun that killed at least 19 Palestinian civilians and left dozens wounded.
One family lost 16 members when Israel tanks opened fire on their house. Seven children died, the youngest was just a year old. The UN resolution called on Israel to abide by its obligations and responsibilities under the Geneva Convention.
The U.S veto was widely criticized in part because the United States has repeatedly used its veto to shield Israel from criticism at the United Nations.
Arab League chief Amr Moussa said the veto was incomprehensible. In response, the Arab League announced it would lift the financial blockade on the Palestinians in defiance of the United States.
In other developments, a deal appears to have been reached between leaders of Hamas and Fatah over a new coalition Palestinian government. Under the reported agreement, a former university official named Mohammed Shbeir will become the new Palestinian Prime Minister replacing Hamas leader Ismail Haniya.
