What should the US do?
If I were President Obama, I would do the right thing and let Palestine into the United Nations. This situation is weighing heavily on the shoulders of the 5 permanent members of the UN (United States, China, Russia, France, & Britain), but it's the heaviest on the United States and Obama. If Obama wants to do whats right, he'll allow Palestine in to the UN, which would pretty much destroy any chance he had of being re-elected. I believe that they should be voted in as an observer and as they move along eventually move to a country that can vote in the UN. But, no matter what the outcome is someone wont be happy about which could cause a war between any number of countries in the Middle East and the United States as well. Either way, one relationship, whether it be with Palestine or Israel, will be severed completely. I think Palestine should be voted into the UN and work their way up to being allowed to vote on issues but they have every right to be a sovereign nation with the proper representation.

I totally agree with this. There will always be a conflict about something either minor or major. I just wish that they would just stop acting like kids and fighting over land and just share it. I know they have different ways of doing things, but if you can't handle the fact that there are different ways of doing things and stuff, then you should have a compromise. Share the stupid land, get over it, and grow up. Of course this would be in a perfect world were there are rainbows and butterflies everywhere..
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely going to be a tough call for Obama because as you said, if he allowed them in, it could ruin his chances of being re-elected. If he wanted to do what was right then he would probably let them in, but knowing that it could ruin his chances of serving a second term as president might completely alter his decision.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with this. Except, we have incredibly strong ties with Israel. They are going to feel betrayed if we vote in Palestine's favor, and most likely fire back with violence.
