The mainstream media was focused on the move by Hamas and other Middle Eastern enemies of Israel to obtain a binding UN Resolution carving the State of Palestine out of the State of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"><span> <\/span>Prime Minister Netanyahu was shuttling to the U.S. to meet with our President, who was not so subtly twisting Israel\u2019s arm to get it to agree to the land takeover. Talk show hosts were arguing over how and when the UN would create the world\u2019s newest nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"><span> <\/span>It appeared that everything was in place \u2013 the Palestinians had ignored purported requests that they not push for the UN to act. The UN appeared to be ready to act. The media were poised to celebrate the bold move by the UN stealing land away from a sovereign nation to create a nation that never was a nation. So what happened?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"><span> <\/span>Imagine if any other group of people in the world were seriously suggesting that they could take land away from an existing nation, because they wanted to \u2013 because they wanted to form a new country. Any other nation but Israel would cry out for help to ward off the interlopers, and the world would come to its assistance. Is that what happened to stop the drive for a new State of Palestine? Did world pressure kill the land grab?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"><span> <\/span>Far from it. The European Union, the Vatican, the Muslim nations and some Latin American nations were all united in calling on the UN to do what the Palestinians asked for \u2013 to take from one nation to start up another. World pressure was at a fever pitch for it to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"><span> <\/span>So, again, what happened to put a pin in the balloon of formation of the State of Palestine?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"><span> <\/span>Politics.
