UNITED NATIONS — A U.S.-sponsored draft resolution that for the first time would have condemned the militant Islamic group Hamas, which controls Gaza, failed to win the required two-thirds majority in the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday. Before the vote on the resolution, the 193-member world body had narrowly voted to require a two-thirds majority for approval as sought by Arab nations for rather than the simple majority urged by the United States. U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told the assembly before the vote that it could make history and unconditionally speak out against Hamas, which she called “one of the most obvious and grotesque cases of terrorism in the world.” “What the U.N. chooses to do today will speak volumes about each country’s seriousness when it comes to condemning anti-Semitism,” she said. “Because there is nothing more anti-Semitic than saying terrorism is not terrorism when it’s used against the Jewish people and the Jewish state.”
US fails to win UN condemnation of Hamas militants in Gaza
I think everyone should see who voted yes/no/abstain concerning condemning the Hamas terrorist organization.....
Obviously nobody bothers reading Hamas' Charter any more.:roll:
Oh looky - trump's best friends Russia and Saudi Arabia voted AGAINST this. Once again trump FAILS.

Antisemite card played OP................ trumps the Trump cards introduction............
What was antisemitic about the OP?
Please be clear and concise.

It isn't so much what anybody here considers Hamas to be, it's more this ------------------->

Read the content of the opening post again and see where and who plays the card.
I noticed that Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras all voted YES, but apparently we're still busy calling them terrorists, or at the very least, accusing them of sending terrorists. Any chance Twumpy might ease up on his own militant rhetoric against these nations now that we know that they're in our corner on the Hamas issue?
I doubt it.
What is anti-semitic about the OP. Your claim. Your burden.
I think you have it scoped wrong Mr Strangler............ think US foreign aid

Sure it was on the Jerusalem vote but surely doesn't end there
Oh I understand about the foreign aid. I was just being sarcastic.
Read the link content in the OP and it becomes clear who played it and where.
I've read all their charters past and present. Then I look at their media, like Al-Aqsa TV and Al-Fateh.
"We want to wage jihad and blow up the Jews"
Sorry, I don't buy into this so called "revised Hamas charter", it's bullcrap. Hamas is every bit as much a terrorist organization as it has always been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
The Israel-Palestine-Hamas problem is 100% intractable and always will be till either the end of time.
Neither nation is interested in solving it.
Your claim. Your burden.
Do you not understand the concept?
Hamas , imo , are trying to change in order to get a seat at the table but the status quo suits both Fatah and Israel
Israel , by keeping a wedge between Hamas and Fatah , puts on ice any outside calls for serious negotiations leading to a resolution of the conflict. The " we have no legitimate negotiating partner " has stood it well
Fatah , seeing Hamas as rivals to their supremacy in Palestinian political culture , ar happy to see them being seen as the perennial outcasts
Hamas is trying to develop itself as Fatah did and their paths have been somewhat similar in that regard
Division between the Palestinians suits Israels strategy of solidifying it's takeover of Palestinian territories and gives it time to change the facts on the ground that is making any notions of a two state solution something of a dead letter
I agree with you about the intractability of many/most of the players hence why I think the UN should be given the task of creating as fair a resolution as is possible using international law as the framework for negotiations. For that to happen the US would have to waive it's veto power which , for decades now , has blocked such opportunities

Exactly the point.I've read all their charters past and present. Then I look at their media, like Al-Aqsa TV and Al-Fateh.

Yup, they're both very much at home in the current statusThe Israel-Palestine-Hamas problem is 100% intractable and always will be till either the end of time.
