The resolution was approved with 14 member states voting in favor, none voting against, and one abstention — the United States. The text calls on all states “to distinguish, in their relevant dealings, between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied since 1967” — language that Israel fears will lead to a surge in boycott and sanctions efforts, and that an Israeli official warned would provide “a tailwind for terror.” [ Source ] View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UN resolutions are as worthless as the paper they're written and Israel can just ignore them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's going to show his true colors now that he has no one to impress so as to achieve the office of choice being he's leaving the highest one after eight years. Obama today repealed the post 9/11 2001 Bush Jr. era, National Security Entry-Exit Registration System. It was a security measure implemented for national security reasons. Requiring males originating from 25 high risk extremist countries to register in person when entering the U.S. . And to submit to questioning and fingerprinting at an immigration and naturalization service office. Obama has till January 20th to show his true colors . Anyone else afraid of what those are?

Yeah. There were no sanctions with what passed today from what I understand. If the US moves its embassy to Jerusalem that would be ten times the message that this was.

Today Netanyahu said, 'friends don't take friends to the Security Council'. I agree. Mind you, I'm a life long Democrat who voted for Obama twice but I have never understood not just Obama but America's foreign policy regarding Israel. In what world does it make sense of Israel to return to the 1967 borders? It would be national suicide and if anyone has a vested interest in the success of Israel in the Middle East it's the U.S.. Truth is we don't have a lot of allies in the Middle East and if we have a better friend in that part of the world I don't know who it would be. I don't know if moving the capitol of Israel to Jerusalem is a good idea. I mean I think it makes a lot of sense to keep things in Tel Aviv for purely practical reasons, there just isn't that much there is Jerusalem. For all it's history and obvious significance to Christians and Jews alike I think it makes a lot more sense to keep things where all the other embassies and government facilities are. I am also deeply and profoundly concerned that such a decision could turn Jerusalem, that literally means, 'city of peace', into a war zone. To be honest I feel we have betrayed Israel in this vote, I wish I could see a silver lining but what could it possibly be? I don't think Israel is innocent in the Palestinian Israel conflict but they are clearly the best of the bad guys. Let's hope President elect Trump helps the international community elevate their thinking. I'm not overly optimistic but it's about time Israel had a real friend in the Oval Office. Grace and peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
