If THIS doesn’t tell the world who runs America, nothing else will. Obama is terrified of the Zionist bankers and AIPAC obviously because of their power of the purse just before he will need campaign funds for the elections next year. Not only that, but he was bought and sold long ago. He may put on a show of caring about peace, and maybe somewhere in his heart he has a cell or two that wants it, but generally speaking, he is a hawk bought and owned by Israel.
Hamas says the veto shows the American administration's bias towards the occupation and slams it as immoral behavior disregarding the international community.

The Palestinian Permanent Observer to the United Nations, called 'unfortunate' the U.S. veto of an Arab-sponsored United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem on Friday.
"The Security Council failed to respond to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis and send a clear and firm message to Israel that it must ... cease all of its violations and its obstruction of the peace process," said Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian representative.
Israel has a plan and it will not do a damn thing to halt building and settling the lands full of illegal settlements. Legal, schmeagal, it means nothing to Israel, never has and never will. As I have written and posted before, they have the plan for the Greater Israel and NOTHING will stop them. In their supreme arrogance and hubris they will continue. Only the most naïve would ever have considered hope from a peace process. And after the leak of the Palestine Papers, this is fact.
Israel does not know how to bargain in good will and has no interest in doing so. They never follow through on their word unless it is good for Israel. The way they treated Abbas, the way he let them treat him, and how he kowtowed to their demands, should tell the world this peace process, like the two state solution, is a waste of time.
"We fear ... that the message sent today may be one that only encourages further Israeli intransigence and impunity," Mansour said.
Israel does not care about encouragement from the outside world. As pointed out, they have their own agenda, one that has been on paper for a very long time.
The United States on Friday voted against a United Nations Security Council draft resolution that would have condemned Israeli settlements as illegal. The veto by the U.S., a permanent council member, prevented the resolution from being adopted.
Home of the brave? In the past, yes. Today, politicians are cowardly critters. They just obey Israel, don’t so what is right or what the people want. They are greedy and spineless…
The other 14 Security Council members voted in favor of the draft resolution. But the U.S., as one of five permanent council members with the power to block any action by the Security Council, struck it down.
The resolution had nearly 120 co-sponsors. The Obama administration's veto is certain to anger Arab countries and Palestinian supporters around the world.
The U.S. opposes new Israeli settlements but says taking the issue to the UN will only complicate efforts to resume stalled negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians on a two-state solution.
What a complete crock full of hooey! For all the reasons mentioned above.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Israel was deeply grateful to the United States for vetoing the resolution. "Israel deeply appreciates the decision by (U.S.) President (Barack) Obama to veto the Security Council Resolution," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement.
Israel was "prepared to pursue negotiations vigorously" and was "eager to get on" with Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, the premier's office said. The "decision by the US makes it clear that the only path to such a peace will come through direct negotiations and not through the decisions of international bodies," it continued.
Nothing I would like to put in here can be said in polite society. That creature does not want peace. For so many reasons. War is the only thing Israel understands, it keeps the citizens on their toes for a myriad of reasons; and it is wonderful to bring in the more fanatic Jews to these settlements with the objective of making life so miserable for the Palestinians that they abandon the land.
These people are so set in their intentions that, even when offered a fortune in the latest jets, they turned the offer down and that was to only halt building for a few months! That should tell you something.
Palestinians say continued settlement building flouts the internationally-backed peace plan that will permit them to create a viable, contiguous state on the land after a treaty with Israel to end its control of the West Bank and decades of conflict.
I am thinking Palestine needs to begin to rethink this whole issue, break out of the box and come up with some alternative ideas.
Israel says this is an excuse for avoiding peace talks and a precondition never demanded before during 17 years of negotiation, which has so far produced no agreement.
Pass me the spittoon please. This hypocrisy is too much to stand.
Peace negotiations were halted in September after a temporary Israeli settlement freeze expired. Palestinians refuse to return to the negotiating table unless settlement building halts completely, including in East Jerusalem.
The Islamic Palestinian Hamas group also slammed the U.S. veto describing it as immoral behavior and a disregard of the international community.
Hamas said in a statement that the veto shows the American administration's bias towards the occupation.
Hamas urged the Palestinian Authority to stop all forms of security coordination with Israel.
Hamas is bang on in all counts. Of course.
Egypt also slammed the decision saying it was "disappointing."
A spokesman for the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Hossam Zaki, predicted that the veto will instead push all sides away from the talks and further damage the credibility of the US as a mediator.
It also shows that, for all his fancy words in Cairo about world peace and understanding, Obama was just grandstanding.
Its stance was "not only disappointing to the Palestinian and Arab people, but also on an international level, especially in all of the states that supported the draft resolution," Zaki said.
