Well, the rise of the oceans may be slowing and perhaps our planet is beginning to heal, but the image of the US hasn't improved yet in our enemies' eyes.
Despite having elected Barack Obama as president, which was supposed to resolve issues with all hostile nations, the US remains an enemy of the Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon.
Abbas Zaki told Lebanon's OTV that the Palestinian Authority will view the United States as an enemy as long as the US has a strategic alliance with Israel.
Zaki was asked how Israel or the US could be considered enemies by the Palestinians if they are currently in peace negotiation and providing aid to Palestinians. He replied that the PA is just putting on a show in order to negotiate with Israel and US because it has no other choice at this time.
This is the ambassador speaking. Diplomatic, hey? Zaki insists that even though Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas regularly refers to the US as a friend of the Palestinians in public addresses, he doesn't really mean it.
