U.N. AND PALIS v. U.S. AND ISRAEL

U.S. Vetoes Security Council Resolution Assailing Israel - Warren Hoge
The U.S. vetoed a Security Council resolution on Saturday that condemned Israel for its military actions in Gaza. U.S. Ambassador John Bolton told the Council that the resolution "does not display an even-handed characterization of the recent events in Gaza, nor does it advance the cause of Israeli-Palestinian peace." In the vote, 4 countries abstained - Britain, Denmark, Japan, and Slovakia - and 10 were in favor - Argentina, China, Congo, France, Ghana, Greece, Peru, Russia, Qatar, and Tanzania. The U.S. traditionally opposes what it considers one-sided Security Council resolutions on Israel. (New York Times)

Palestinian Groups Call on Muslims to Strike American Targets - Ali Waked
Four Palestinian organizations threatened Sunday to launch attacks on U.S. targets in response to what they said was America's support of "Israeli crimes." They called on "all the mujahadeen in the Islamic nation to mercilessly strike the Americans." The U.S. veto in the Security Council, according to the groups, "renders America a legitimate target just as Israel is." The statement was signed by the Popular Resistance Committees, the Al-Aqsa Brigades (Fatah's armed wing), the Fatah-affiliated Abu Rish Brigades, and the Islamic Tawahid Brigades. Spokesman for the Resistance Committees Mahmoud Abd-el Aal told Ynet that the Palestinian organizations will hunt the Americans down anywhere in the world, inside the territories and outside them.
