White House: No Plans to Withdraw Palestinian Aid After U.N. Vote

There are no plans to withdraw aid to the Palestinian Authority following the United Nations vote to recognize Palestine as an independent state, a White House spokesman said Friday.

Josh Earnest told reporters traveling on Air Force One that the U.S. opposed the resolution to give the Palestinian Authority nonmember observer state status because the Israel-Palestinian conflict should be resolved “only through face-to-face negotiations, not unilateral actions,” according to the White House pool report.

A bipartisan group of senators had threatened to cut off millions in U.S. financial aid to the Palestinians if the vote succeeded.

Earnest said there were no other consequences under consideration that he could discuss.

The U.S. was one of just nine nations to vote against the resolution Thursday, including Israel and Canada. There were 138 votes in favor of the Palestinian push, with 41 abstentions.

After the vote, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton blasted the move as “unfortunate and counterproductive” and reiterated that direct negotiations are the only way to achieve peace.

Israel is harvesting their crappy crops they were planting all those years of denying history to try and use a lie and the UN to steal a nations land. Palestine. That’s what the British called it when they decided to give a portion to Zionists (their wording, not mine). Here, read it yourselves.

Notice the mentioning of Palestine. And Zionist Federation.

  Israel was happy to accept the lesser portion, then the War came in 67 they did not provoke or want. Get your hate inline with the facts first.

  Hey Dignified,
  The history I studied, stated the Romans were the first to call the “land of Juda”, Palestine. Maybe you should do a little more research and not trust everything you read (as research) on the internet. The internet is one source but don’t believe everything on it. Try the library. Somthing you should also look up was the state of this area during the 1930′s and 1940′s. How many of them sided with Hitler and the NAZI party. Hatred for the Jews has a long history.

I would cut off all foreign aid to all of the 134 nations that voted for it. And I would give a stern warning to the other 41 that abstained to mind their Ps and Qs the next time, and don’t bite the hands that feeds them. Otherwise the next time they cowardly weasel their way out of declaring themselves either pro or con, they’d have all aid cut off immediately too unless they voted with the US. Furthermore I’d shut down the US operations of the UN right now, punt all the rest of the sorry asses out, and demolish that on again off again mosque that’s near ground zero,. Build a swanky 20 story tower and house the 9 country’s delgations that voted with the US there.

This means absolutely nothing.Nothing will change except that the world will continue to make a decision that will lead to disaster. The Palestinians will continue suicide bombings, rockets will launch, and the nations will continue to support murder. Jets will be hijacked, passenger ships will be hijacked, Jews and Christians will be murdered, and the nations will still take the side of murder.All that money will land in the hands of Hamas and other “hate groups”. Nothing will change except that the world will continue to make a decision that will lead to disaster.

All foreign aid should be stopped permanently,even if we weren’t about to head into depression part two we shouldn’t engage in ‘foreign aid’,it’s immoral and unconstitutional. The Marxist POS in the oval office will increase spending in all areas because he intends to crash the system and he’s going to do it. It’s all part of his ‘making everyone equal’ BS that got drilled into his Marxist mind.

Judge people by their actions and NOT their talk. Everything this administration has done shows their support for a Palestinian nation. This garbage about them NOT supporting it is a lie. They took the lazy way out (they usually do) by voting NO for image knowing full well that the vote would be YES. This administration could have stopped the vote from ever happening by applying pressure in the right spots; particularly by letting Hamas and Fatah (Gaza and West Bank) know that ALL funding would cease. It was done by Bush Sr. 20 years ago, and COULD have been done by Imam Obama.

The fact that the vote even took place is proof that Barry supports this. So, regardless of whether you support the vote or not, understand the blatant lie coming from this administration. But that’s what they do best.

Of course there are no plans to stop aid to the palestinians but there are plans to BORROW ( STEAL ) OUR MONEY FROM OUR 401K’s and other retirement funds !!!! This is actually “on the table”.
How’s this “four more years” working out for all you Communist supporters so far ? Oh that’s right….You don’t have any 401k’s BUT you do have your obozo Phone. Just friggin peachy.

Hey Dignified. Please explain to us brain dead people how this makes sense. We’re just dying to hear your words of wisdom, in how this is so great and wonderful, that tax payers money is funding a terrorist state that repeatedly threatens one of the great allies, this country has had in Israel.

  You forgot how the “great ally” occupies the lands of the state in question, prevent the state from trading and keep the citizens prisoners in their own land.
  
  Plus, I wonder if the survivors of the USS Liberty would agree with the great ally comment.

  Israel controls the territories because all its offers to turn the land over have been rejected or lead to violence. As for the Liberty, you make it sound as if the attack was intentional. I’d really like to hear why Israel would do such a thing.

  TOTAL LIES. The land commonly known as Palestine (never was a country) was largely stolen by
  Jordan and Lebanon…why don’t you go after Lebanon and/or Jordan? Palestinian Muslim Arabs WORK in Israel, dolt, and even serve on the Knesset. They can do anything they want to as long as it
  doesn’t involve bringing BOMBS into Israel!! They have been encouraged for YEARS to develop their own MIAMI BEACH in GAZA. I’ve been there. Have you? They have great ocean-frontage but they spend all their time, our money waging war and trying to maintain power for their dopey Hamas (after dopey Arafat). It’s amazing what their future could be IF THEY STOP LOBBING 5400 ROCKETS into ISRAEL or strapping BOMBS onto their KIDS and sending them into Israel.
  WHY DON’T you encourage THEM to do that. Quit with the one-sided, totally faux lies about the
  big, bad Israelis — or do you like seeing entire generations of Palestinians live like groveling animals under the boots of their own military??? GROW UP.

  Hey Enicom, when it comes to Military Affairs, you’re screwing with the wrong guy. During times of war, mistakes unfortunately happen. Hell, our own military kills their own by mistake as well. And as far as I know it’s the same all over the world. It’s not like our Ships are painted in Red, White, and Blue. But that’s neither here nor there right now.

  Stop aid to ALL countries. We are trillions in debt and each one of us is told we owe $200,000+ to the FedGov (which I do not accept, but that’s what they tell me anyway). When the family household is not only broke but has maxed out credit cards whose interest payments can’t even be paid any longer, the last thing the family does is go out and give away large chunks of cash (well, technically credit) to other people.
  
  Foreign aid has no Constitutional authorization that I’m aware of, and even if it did, we can not afford it. Ever damned red cent needs to stop going out of this nation into the coffers of other nations.

  Technically correct. But they control it via the budget.
  
  When was the last time we had a budget? (rhetorical question)
  
  The way things are being run now, there is no accountability and no way to stop spending since there is no official budget.

Wow. 138 countries support a terrorist-led non-state, 41 countries don’t have the guts to make a stand, and only 9 countries support Israel or at least don’t support making Palestine a country by fiat. Kind of illustrates what we’re up against in the world. Why would we EVER want to subjugate one iota of our sovereignty to the UN?

  What israel and the american gulls are up against is the fact that the world knows that israel is violating international laws by holding on to land illigally seized in the 67war. israel is illigally controlling gaza and hence the people of the world are justly siding with the native arabs-whose land was stolen. That is the sum of it. all arabs including hamas and iran have said they would now accept the original1948 borders. israel wants to hold on to land it is not entitled to by law. They are the tyrants and the people are resisting their tyrany. IThat an american from bklyn has the right-simply becaise he’s jewish- to take the home and land of a native arab is atrocious and tyranical. Any one with any sense of right and wrong sees that.I stand with the arab palestinians .The rogue nation is israel and its manipulated gulls -the american politicians and the zionist media which indoctrinates the people.

  Rose-Ellen — What does “legal” and “illegal” have to do with anything? We are talking about the results of several wars. There is no law involved. Apparently you also forgot that Israel was not the aggressor in any of the wars in which they took those regions. They were attacked repeatedly, so they defended themselves, won, and seized the land areas so they would not be vulnerable to attacks from those areas again. That’s how you ensure peace, by defeating or deterring your enemy until they stop attacking you. Hamas and Iran have in their constitutions or charters the explicit total destruction of the state of Israel. So you are lying when you say that “all Arabs including Hamas and Iran” would accept the 1948 borders.

  FOR all these years that the USA has sent Millions to Palestine…none of it has gone to help the Palestinian people (especially Children). They’ve used it to build hate factories instead of schools. Most of it went to Paris with Arafat’s wife …. WE ARE SUCKERS. We need to write to our Congress people and say .. NO MORE MONEY to Palestine or Egypt !!! Others have pointed out that we have our own cities in dire straights that need OUR MONEY. It’s easy to Tweet our congress people. Set up your own Contact file and use it. They pay attention to messages!!
  NO
  MORE
  MONEY
  TO
  PALESTINE!!!
  There is no reason to send them money. They do -0- for US (USA). They want to kill all Israelis. The money doesn’t get past their HAMAS leaders. WHY are we paying our ENEMIES ???? DUH.

  of course it is about laws. it is illigal to acquire land through war. This has been the case since the UN charter was signed by member nations. And hamas and iran have indeedWhy do you think most nations say the same thing-thaty israel should go back to its legal pre 67 borders? because they are all immoral and unethicaland are all anti semites? The reality is they say it becaause that is the law-.And it is the law because it is just. That you can seize land through war is a might makes right ethos and has no place in the world of civilized nations.It is israel and the US that are rogue nations here-not the rest of the world. Your narrative that law is irrelevant is typical thuggish mentality and the world rejects it .ed said that they would now accept the legal pre 67 borders. The original borders of israel. saying that in war you can win and if you wind take more land-is illigal under international law. Hence the UN resolution242 states that israel is mandated to cease occupying adn cease building settlements on land that is not legally part of israel.

  He traveled around with a bevvy of young males, moving from house to house each night in GAZA. We know this. Some of us were there to see it. It was AIDS. No matter what “chemical” his hysterial wife sprinkles on his old suits… doesn’t matter. He was very scrutinized like no one else when he died. Those Drs and nurses in the French Hospital called it AIDS and were sworn to secrecy, but of course it got out. OUR TAX MONEY has done nothing more than go to fund our ENEMIES !!!
