Because Hamas isn't a nation I would assume.

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Hmmm, that makes sense.

I think that's the reason. I'm not sure(perhaps Troll or Simey could explain) but I think the UN deals only with nations and their actions. Since Hamas isn't the national military of Palestine I think the UN has little to say about it.
But like I said, I'm not sure.

I would assume that by linking Hamas or another terrorist organization with Palestine, it would make Palestine a terrorist state. Makes sense.

Yup, but this is one of the things I want to change about the UN. Both the veto and how it deals with sub-national groups. Just like UN's inability to get involved in civil wars unless both parties agree to let them in.
So I'm disappointed that the US would veto the resolution, but I understand it. I think it is time to somehow modernize the UN so they could deal with international terrorists. That way we could get more nations into that battle and it could be done with international troops. A solution I think most could agree on at least. Not necessarily like, but at least agree with the idea mostly.
