Despite UN Vote, Palestinian Terror Is Still a Losing Strategy
(JNS) Jonathan S. Tobin - The UN General Assembly narrowly defeated a resolution last week that would have condemned Hamas for its terror campaign against Israel. The vote actually illustrated that the world is losing patience with the Palestinians. 87 nations voted to condemn both Palestinian rocket attacks on Israeli cities and towns, as well as its use of civilian infrastructure to mask its ability to commit such war crimes. It was only because of a last-minute vote to require a 2/3 majority for passage that it failed. But a majority of nations still voted yes. Despite the pro-forma support for the Palestinians in such settings, most of the world has lost interest in their century-old war on Zionism. Moreover, Abbas and Hamas know that even many of those Arab nations that voted with them at the UN are dealing with Israel in private.
