UNSC, failing the test of Palestine How the US outmanoeuvred Palestine and used Nigeria to avoid using its veto at the UN Security Council. The US has defeated the PLO at the UN Security Council (UNSC) by a first-round knockout, without even using its veto power. But the humiliation wont go unnoticed in a region that has been seeking divine intervention when its repeated calls for international intervention had failed to stop aggression and bloodshed. Behind the UN commotion is a leadership failure on the part of the three concerned parties. Once again, Palestinian gullibility, American cynicism and Israeli bullying, have degraded the role of the UN in putting an end to the longest case of illegal occupation in memory. aljazeera/indepth/opinion/2014/12/unsc-failing-test-palestine-2014123131249943495.html
