The one-state solution

In a story about Palestinians rallying support for a Palestinian state, Reuters kingpin propagandist Tom Perry cites Palestinian disappointment with U.S. support for Israel and President Obama's pledge to veto the Palestinian attempt to circumvent negotiations:
Washington's pledge to veto the bid for U.N. membership has added to deep Palestinian disappointment in Obama. The Palestinians have long complained of what they see as Washington's support for Israel at their expense.
"America talks about human rights. They support South Sudan. Why don't they support us?" said Tamer Milham, a 26-year-old computer engineer, referring to the new state of South Sudan which was admitted to the United Nations in July.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that South Sudan is not seeking to eradicate Sudan.
