Clinton Chides Palestinians For Statehood Effort

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says U.N. recognition of an independent Palestine won't help Palestinians or Israelis reach a lasting two-state peace agreement.

Speaking a day ahead of the expected vote at the United Nations, Clinton stressed that the "path to a two-state solution that fulfills the aspirations of the Palestinian people is through Jerusalem and Ramallah, not New York."

Alongside Israel, the Obama administration has strongly opposed the Palestinian for recognition. Much of the world supports the Palestinians, however.

none may speak, nor may we learn the reasons why, but it is quite obvious in Obama's utter run-around non-response on this question, that WE didn't get to vote on it, and it's not on any ballot:

The Israeli government just killed over 100 Gazans, and the US pledges $70 billion to Israel as a result. All the while attempting to frighten us with "fiscal cliff" BULLSHIT. WTF?
