Obama at the UN

President Obama is speaking and has been lauding the fact that through peaceful opposition, peoples around the world have begun to realize the "universal right" of self-determination.

He said - 

"We will always stand up for the universal rights that are recognized by this assembly..."

Then went on to address Palestine - 

"One issue stands as a test...conflict between Israelis and Palestinians...

One year ago called for independent Palestine...deserve state of their own...

Genuine peace can only be realized between...the parties...

Question isn't goal that we seek...quetion is how to we reach that goal...

Peace is hard work...won't come through statements...at UN..."

One cannot help but recognize the hypocrisy of our country's position.  It is morally wrong, and I have yet to hear a reasonable explanation as to why the UN should not recognize Palestine.  I want to hear one because I want to be able to say to my friends that Israel is in the right.  I just don't see it.
