US Envoy: Congress will punish UN if it recognizes Palestine Noam Sheizaf + 972, June 23, 2011



A little-noticed quote from Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the UN, reveals the depth of the United States� commitment to Jerusalem�s demands and more importantly, the enormous effect the Israeli lobby has on American foreign policy. H/t to The Progressive Realist for picking up this one (my bold): Discussing the possibility that a resolution recognizing a Palestinian state could pass the General Assembly in September, she [Rice] said, "And this would be exceedingly politically damaging in our domestic context, as you can well imagine. And I cannot frankly think of a greater threat to our ability to maintain financial and political support for the United Nations in congress than such an outcome." One should never tire of repeating this: Without America�s support for it, there would have been no occupation. (via Ali Gharib)
