On cue, Congressman Allen West joined the chorus of other top conservative Republicans, including Senator Marco Rubio in denouncing the recent U.N. vote acknowledging Palestine as a ‘non-member observer state.’ West went on to chide the Socialist-lite governments of Austria,Spain, Italy, France and Norway for voting “lockstep” in favor of a Palestinian state.
“Slowly but surely, hostile nations are tightening the noose around the sovereign State of Israel. Only those who are not students of history, Islam or the Muslim Brotherhood will be surprised by these actions.
It is naive to think this vote is solely about human rights or a homeland for Palestinian people. This vote is yet another step towards delegitimizing Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state with Jerusalem as its undivided capital.
When the cease-fire brokered by the Muslim Brotherhood-controlled Egyptian government was announced, Hamas and the Palestinians celebrated it as a victory over Israel, not as a step towards peace.
The true intentions of nations such as Iran and Syria are one thing, but it is deeply disappointing when countries such as Austria, France, Italy, Norway and Spain vote in lockstep. It is unfortunate that so many in our own country, including those in this current administration, continue to ignore the reality.” -Congressman Allen West

This upgrade in status now gives the Philestines access to the International Criminal Court.

So, Netanyahu started the conflict w/ Gaza to test the Iron Dome before launching war with Iran.
Hamas leader was assassinated because he really, really wanted peace.
The Israeli embargo on Gaza is “crushing” their economy and the Israelis are targeting civilian children. Yet, workers freely cross the border into Israel, shipments are inspected for weapons and allowed to pass. And though civilians have been killed, the digging up of bodies to be paraded in the streets as casualties and the staging of children in photo ops by the Philistines has been well-documented. Hamas’ hiding military targets in schools and mosques I’m sure has nothing to do with it.
Sheesh. Are you a 911 Truther too?
Allen West has no moral authority to speak on the Palestinian suffering and aspirations. Allen West is dedicated to cater for the israeli lobby groups in U.S. congress. The guy is disgusting and I am so glad that he lost his miserable election.
COL WEST HAS MY AUTHORITY TO SPEAK TRUTH AND TO BE A STALWART IN THE FIGHT AGAINST MUSLIM MURDERERS AND OBAMA SLIME THAT WISH TO DESTROY BOTH THE USA AND ISRAEL.
YOU HAVE A NAME SIMILAR TO A GREAT MAN OF WISDOM AND PEACE. DAMNED SHAME NONE OF IT NEVER RUBBED OFF ON YOU “M”.
West (and every American pol) has to comply with the dictates of our rulers to have any hope of retaining their elected position. And here is how it works:

Our “rulers”?
May your chains set lightly upon you, serf.
>May your chains set lightly upon you serf.
Thank you for your kind sentiment. But chains are too late for the hundreds of thousands of muslims and Christians you’ve slain in Iraq. Aren’t you proud?

Get out of the UN, tell them to take their building and their embassies and stay away from our sovereign shores, and while their at it, take the Kenyon Communist in our White House with them.
When the UN was a fledgling experiment providing hope to a war torn world it showed some wisdom and courage (attributes long gone from them)!
They voted to divide British Palestine into a Jewish State and a Palestinian State. The Jews accepted and welcomes long time Arab residents to remain. These residents were ORDERED to leave their homes and the new nation of ISRAEL. Muslim leaders mounted attacks on the new state, caring nothing about their own displace people!
They still care nothing about the people except to recruit terrorists from their numbers and to use the bodies of their children for propaganda.
The Third World Thugs who now have overtaken the UN did the world at large a grave disservice in trying to give Hamas and its’ brother a platform for their hatefilled rhetoric!
