Abbas Addresses U.N. in Bid for Palestinian Statehood

In defiance of the United States and Israel, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the United Nations Friday pressing the case for the creation of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas: "The time has come to end the suffering and the plight of millions of Palestinian refugees in the homeland and the diaspora, to end their displacement and to realize their rights, some of whom were forced to take refuge more than once in different places of the world. At a time when the Arab peoples affirm their quest for democracy, in what is called now the Arab Spring, the time has come also for the Palestinian Spring, the time for independence."

Obama Administration Secretly Sold 55 Bunker Buster Bombs to Israel 

Newsweek has revealed the Obama administration has secretly sold Israel 55 deep-penetrating bunker buster bombs, which could be used in any future military strike against Iran. The bombs were sold to Israel in 2009 just months after Obama took office. The Israelis first requested the bunker busters in 2005, only to be rebuffed by the Bush administration.
