UN - including US - votes for Israel to back off
GERALD NADLER
Associated Press Writer


UNITED NATIONS - The United States joined other U.N. Security Council members Saturday in adopting a resolution that calls on Israel to withdraw its troops from Palestinian cities, including Ramallah, where Yasser Arafat's headquarters is under siege.

The 14-0 vote, at 4:30 a.m. EST, capped a marathon emergency session called at the request of the Palestinians. It came a day after Israel declared the Palestinian leader an enemy and, vowing to isolate him, launched an extensive military campaign in response to a series of attacks on Israeli civilians.

It was the second time in a month that the United States, Israel's closest ally, approved a Mideast resolution, after years of abstaining and vetoing Council measures critical of Israel. On March 13, the United States voted with the council to approve a resolution calling for a Palestinian state.

LOL. I can see how Bush is 'making Israel get out of Ramallah' (not.) :)

And he knows Arafat is a terrorist, he's just giving the old terrorist some more rope...before he gives him the heave-ho!!!!
