Can You Spot The Typo in this U.N. Tweet That Has Palestinians Furious?
The United Nations’ official Twitter account posted the following message on Thursday, which has since been deleted:
(Twitter)
Did you catch the typo?
The continuous Israeli-Palestinian conflict involves the Palestinians wanting a “two-state solution,” which would establish an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel. Of course, it’s much more complicated than that and there are a number of factors that go into a so-called two-state solution, but you get the point.
So by calling for a “1-state solution” in “solidarity with Palestinians,” the United Nations predictably infuriated many of those same Palestinians.
The UN staffer behind the tweet has since apologized personally for the mistake.
@acarvin @laurenist Sorry all — terrible typo on my part and then went into a telephone conference call before catching it.

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 8:50pmThere is more truth to that Tweet than is realized, The Palestinians insist a one state solution, It is spelled out in the Charters of Hamas and Fatah, The only solution to the Arabs of Gaza and the West bank is a state of Palestine west of the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea.

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 6:37pmLike the whites who wanted blacks to work for them, while the reaps the rewards of the work of others? IDIOT! This isn’t about race, it is about opportunity to take advantage of others to gain power and or other profits from them. It’s about wanting what belongs to someone else. ALL RACES have at time and still will do the same. Most of the LIBERALS IN THIS NATION are white. Grow a brain. This is brought on by opportunity to do the above and moral corruptness that perminates mankind. As you should know, LOOKING AT OTHERS the wrong way is easy to do.

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 8:14pmThe similarity between the Black people and the Palestinian is that both groups have leaders who often keep their communities in a state of perpetual slavery–be it illiteracy, poverty, poor health, drugs, or rabid hate mongering. Both groups have a chronic habit of choosing poorly. Look at the potential replacement for Jesse Jackson Jr.–an ex con and convicted rapist. Will the man win? Probably!
It took years for the government to kick NY (Harlem) Congressman Adam Clayton Powell from office (in 1967) on account of fiscal corruption–but this would be minimizing the scenario. Every other week, Powell’s picture would appear in the NY papers showing him wining and dining high priced hookers–and the guy did not even try to hide it. At the same time, he would be spewing–along with Black Muslims such as Malcom X–anti Semitic rhetoric even though the only humanitarian aid, building funds, trade schools, and so on, being donated to this Black community was from the Jews, not the Blacks (there were–and still remain–plenty of wealthy Black persons in Harlem but few if any were willing to invest in their own people). The situation is no different than in Gaza or in the West Bank. The majority of humanitarian aid in both areas is provided by the Jews–not the Arabs. Clearly, both the Blacks and the Palestinians have chosen poorly. Palestinians (like most in the Arab world) continually replace one despot for another–and the Black community unfortunately usually does the same.

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 8:50pm@FULL_FATHOM_FIVE:
Very well said. The money being made by the race panderers (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Yasser Arafat etal), whether they be black, palestinian or any other group is the very reason that keeping these groups in poverty is their main concern. Bilking vast sums of money by coersion from governments and corporations, in order to “Help” their people only results in the enrichment of the fundraiser and does nothing for those for whom the funds were supposed to help.

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 4:57pmThere is not and never has been a nation of “palestinians.” This is a lie started by Yassar Arafat. As most leftest like to rewrite history they jumped right on his wagon. The people who are now labeled “palestinian” are Arab people whose ancestors came from Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations. They refused to live in peace with Israel as protest to the UN for allowing Israel to exist. The Arab nations have used these people as a tool in their quest to rid the middle east of Israel. They have never wanted anything other than the destruction of the Jewish state. Only last week they were lobbing rockets into civilian areas of Israel. They will never live in peace with Israel.

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 5:16pmThis goes back farther than Arafat. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2012/caroline-glick/a-few-notable-anniversaries-on-the-palestinians-big-day/ There was an Arab named Husseini back before Hitler that spread propaganda and death all over the middle-east and then helped import it to Germany and continued throughout Egypt. One evil Husseini… There have been 1400 years of terror and they are being rewarded. Beware as they become more bold the gang rapes will be here like in UK. The real war on women – Islam.

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 4:58pmThe trouble is that the UN has treated that building and the grounds the same way that our politicians have treated our internal infrastructure of roads, bridges and etc over the past half century. Parts of the main building are falling apart. The inspectors that have made it inside cannot make the UN do the repairs necessary, but they have stopped the public from entering on tours several years ago. And, these clowns want to run the world? LOL

Posted on November 30, 2012 at 2:57pmSome would argue that the entire City of New York is a terrible waste of valuable real estate, but that is another topic for another day. There is some poetic justice watching global slumlords (U.N.) having to live in their own run down tenement, until I think about who ultimately subsidizes that whole operation – another sports arena deal gone horribly wrong! The real clowns aren’t in the U.N., they’re the ones allowing it to exist as it does. We are all Bozos on this bus! To wit, I propose putting the U.N. on a retired cruise liner and setting it adrift beyond U.S. waters. That way they could drop anchor where ever they ought to be – like Gaza or Mogadishu. Bon voyage!

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 4:33pmI believe it was a Freudian slip. They intend for it to be a single-state solution – Palestine, with the annihilation of Israel to secure that single state. Doesn’t take much imagination to see how it would be arranged.

Posted on November 29, 2012 at 4:19pmI thought the Palestinians would applaud. The rank and file and Hamas are calling for a one state solution where Palestine replaces Israel and Israel ceases to exist. That is why many are upset with Abbas because he is proposing that Gaza, the West Bank and 1/2 of Jerusalem as the Palestinian state. At least in Gaza, they want it all.

Posted on December 1, 2012 at 2:18pmThe unfiltered middle east news from the Arab perspective is available at:
http://www.aljazeera.net
Let Google do the translation.
Notable news from this source:
(1) Nov24. Netanyahu called for ceasefire on West Bank after Obama promised troops would be sent to Sinai.
(2) NATO to move Patriot Missile Battery to Turkey on Syrian border. (This is the area NATO is supplying arms and supplies to the Syrian rebels previously known as Al Qaeda)
(3) Clinton ready for bilateral talks with Iran.
(4) Iran increasing Uranium production.
(5) Israel doesn’t exist on the map of the Arab World. Its called Palestine.
(6) After U.N. victory, Palestine now wants to join the International Monetary Fund.
The U.S. media and government are concealing the real Middle East foreign policy from the American people. Fortunately, Barack Hussein Obama is a Christian and has America’s best interest at heart.
