US vetoes UN resolution condemning Israel on Gaza

    US vetoes UN resolution condeming Israel on Gaza

    By Irwin Arieff 28 minutes ago

    UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution put forward by Qatar on behalf of Arab states that would have condemned Israel's two-week military incursion into Gaza.

    The vote on the draft resolution was 10-1, with the United States voting no, and four countries abstaining -- Britain, Denmark, Peru and Slovakia.

    U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said Washington had voted against the text because it was "untimely and already outmoded." ...

    The veto was the first by the United States since October 2004 when former Ambassador John Danforth opposed a resolution calling on Israel to end an earlier incursion into Gaza. ...

the US is continuing to be led around by the nose by Israel. I am sick of it.
