As The Unrest Continues In The Middle East...

As the unrest continues in the Middle East, the United States prepares to rebuke its only reliable ally in that region--the one stable democracy that supports freedom.

On Wednesday, ForeignPolicy.com reported that the United States was planning to support a United Nations Security Council statement rebuking Israel for 'continued settlement activity.'  The purpose of the U. S. supporting this resolution is that it avoids the U. S. having to veto a stronger resolution put forth by the Palestinians calling the settlements illegal.  I'm not impressed.

The article reports:

"But the Palestinians rejected the American offer following a meeting late Wednesday of Arab representatives and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution on Friday, according to officials familar with the issue. The decision to reject the American offer raised the prospect that the Obama adminstration will cast its first ever veto in the U.N. Security Council. 

"Still, the U.S. offer signaled a renewed willingness to seek a way out of the current impasse, even if it requires breaking with Israel and joining others in the council in sending a strong message to its key ally to stop its construction of new settlements. U.S. officials were not available for comment, but two Security Council diplomats confirmed the proposal."

The fact that the United States is being forced into a position where it finds it necessary to cast its first veto since the United Nations was founded in 1945 is an indication of the direction the United Nations has taken in recent years.

The Wall Street Journal also posted an article about the coming vote on Israeli settlements. 

 The Wall Street Journal points out:

"Many Arab diplomats argue the uprisings that toppled the governments of Egypt and Tunisia in recent weeks heightened the need for a quick resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Many Middle East analysts believe a new government in Cairo could be less committed to Egypt's peace agreement with Israel."

The uprisings in the Middle East have nothing to do with the Arab-Israeli conflict.  The uprisings have been stirred up mainly in countries that lean pro-western in order to allow the Muslim Brotherhood to take over these countries.  At some point in the future, we will see Iran's fingerprints on these uprisings.

Israel is taking defensive measures in case its treaty with Egypt is ended by a new government in Egypt.  Israel will tighten border security with Egypt if Egypt fails to enforce the border.

It is definitely time to stop funding the United Nations and ask it to leave New York City.
