US abstention allows UN to demand end to Israeli settlements
Tags: None -
The vote was 14 to 0.
United States, France, Russia, Britain and China all have veto power.
Claiming the the US alone "allowed" something to happen here is not true. -
maybe your black jesus shoulda done something about settlements in year 1, not the end of year 8. maybe then people mighta respected the vote. as of now its meaningless.
all because hilary lost to a racist sexual predator homophobe bla bla bla. she was that bad!

Merry Christmas Obama -- parting shot?
Trump will do no better with the Israel-Palestinian dilemma.
Maybe, Putin wants to advance an Middle East Pax Russia?Comment

Ok so Egypt drafted the resolution, but it's not their fault.
Then New Zealand, Malaysia, Senegal and Venezuela insisted the vote be Friday, and pushed for the vote, but it's not ANY of their faults.
Then China, France, Russia, the U.K., Angola, Egypt, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Enegal, Spain, Ukraine, Uruguay & Venezuela all voted for the resolution. America didn't vote.
And somehow you twist all that to be Americas fault, when in reality, we had nothing to do with it. 5 countries had veto power, but it's all America's fault. Everything is America's fault


It's not Putins fault for voting FOR the end to settlements or NOT vetoing the resolution? Oh no of course not!Comment

No Israel will not comply and then nothing. Israel will do what it chooses to do. There is nothing that any country will do about it. That is my opinion.Comment

The US was the only country poised to veto. The rest get what Israel is about. The world gets it at this point.Ok so Egypt drafted the resolution, but it's not their fault.

I have to agree with you on another point though. I don't think Trump will last 2017.Comment

Israel needs to stop this already. They cannot continue building settlements on land they physically do not have. This is like the United States suddenly moving the border with Mexico back ten miles and building a new city there. That's illegal.Herschel Savage

It's been US vetos that have allowed Israel to steal land.
Anyone else tries to steal land in that area and the US sends troops.Comment

As the US has allowed Israel to steal land and put Palestinians into a ghetto. Maybe the US should rehouse them. Problem is they only want what was theirs back.Comment

I agree. All Presidents are shackled by the big money donors. As long as that tail wags the dog, Palestinians are fucked.
The U.S. provides Israel $10.2 million* in military aid each day, ... Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one-fifth of America's entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year.Comment

When you're #1 or #2 you are the most influential on the World.
But you're wrong. I blame Americans for not having the guts to vote out bought and paid for politicians. EU for making a mess or Europe, China for taking US jobs, sorry that was the fault of big money US political donors.Comment

Why would anyone be in favour of stealing any countries land?Ok so Egypt drafted the resolution, but it's not their fault.

Now tell us why the US would want to veto the endless expansion of these settlements.Comment

Crimea ? South China sea?
I say we let them settle in Florida, offer it to them to make Florida their country. They've been great allies and will continue to be. They are good people just looking to make a country of their own.Comment
