 * Example from above:


 * URL: []


 * WHO: President Obama


 * WHAT: Speech at the United Nations (UN)


 * WHERE: UN General Assembly in New York, NY


 * WHEN: Wednesday, September 21


 * CONNECTION: President Obama is calling for Palestinians to stop “pushing” for an independent state of Palestine within the current nation of Israel. This is a new position from the US government, considering that President George W. Bush met with Israeli and Palestinian leaders during his term and called on the two groups to work out a “two-state” solution to the nearly 70 year conflict. At numerous times over the course of the past 70 years America’s position on Israeli independence and Palestinian legitimacy has changed, this is just the latest development in the saga.
