UN passes resolution on ending Israeli settlements, US abstains from vote

[Gibbs]

You clearly have no idea how it works in the US.

I clearly do.. Lobbyists are potent when they are relevant, Now not so much cos in few weeks almost all of the current regime will be out of office.. Obama wouldn't have dared to go against them in his two terms, If he did he would'nt have lasted two terms.. Now that his time is over he wants to show the world maybe that farce of a Nobel price he got may have some credit.. This is good for sheep, But for those who are more nuanced in politics, Cannot be fooled that easily

Come the Trump presidency, Those poor Palestinians will be in deeper shyt, Cos Bibi Nethanyahu and the Zionist lobby will have a point to prove against this resolution

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

So after decades of using veto in favor of Israel in many UNSC resolutions, one time that US abstained is called a desperate attempt? And perhaps even a backstabber?

Some Jewish fascist terrorists are forcibly kicking Palestinians out of their homes and build new homes instead and U.S has been complicit in Israeli terrorism for decades. This is the least good thing they could do, although it won't make much difference. Israel will continue to be a fascist state no matter what.

and they call them terrorists when they show any reaction.

I somewhat agree with the second paragraph. However the Palestinians were in trouble from the moment Trump was elected. Even before this resolution, there was noise about moving the capital to Jerusalem. Similarly, before the resolution Friedman was nominated to be Israeli ambassador. This resolution is meaningless in reality as the UN can't ever do anything unless it has the backing of the US. I believe Obamas hands were tied during his tenure. We outside of the White House has NO IDEA about the forces at play. Just look at the utter disrespect by Netanyahu and the republicans towards the sitting President recently. So don't be too harsh on Obama. You haven't been in his shoes.

Israel should have opted for Madagascar, a far better option to build a new country than in the middle east.
Israel should not have accepted to live with Arabs who hate them.
The Holy land also should be under UN control and free for worship to all respected religions.

PS: these are my personal views and I do not impose these views on anyone.

If Madagascar was chosen then the Anti Christmas could not proceed with his mission.

All of today's Islamic extremism has its root in the Israeli issue. The Israel issue made Muslims feel incompetent, as there was no recourse through legal channels. The west and monarchies in the middle east where constantly pressing down on the average Muslim. Their only outlet was through violence as sanctioned by religion.

Now, decades later, we have groups like Al Qaeda, ISIS, etc.

If from day 1, muslims were treated with dignity, we would never have been where we are today.

And what were the causes for Islamic extremism which was present even before Israel was founded? I am keen to see how you manage to blame Israel for that.

Its one thing to blame Israel for its excesses, its another to try and play off something existing for centuries and what every one clearly sees as a violent streak in Islam ... on to Israel.

Why don't Jordan takes the Palestinian refugees. After all Jordan is the real Palestine before Brits gave it to Hashemites.

We should thank Israel for taking the brunt of the assaults of the extremist elements. Otherwise some country else would have to face it.

it wasn't Zionist's choice. It was west powers who wanted to have a stronghold in the middle east, and without this goal they wouldn't support this apartheid regime.

Well it's equally the Muslims fault also. They didn't drive the Jews to the sea when the got the opportunity. Now it is no point for moaning.

Thats not extremism thats conquerors

Why should they move and go to Jordan when they live in Palestine

Just because jews got **** ed by hitler Palestinians have to give up their land?



This resolution is a big deal it basically confirms that israel has no right to the West Bank including east Jerusalem

The Palestinian population is growing much quicker than the Jewish and will shortly become the MAJORITY across Gaza, israel and the West Bank

Israel wanted to keep building settlements and then force a resolution upon the Palestinians

This resolution backed by the U.N security council reafirms that israel has no right to any occupied land and the settlements are illegal thus cant be used in negotiations by israel i.e they will give up some settlements in order to keeep others


If it all becomes one state then iarael has
The apartheid route
Ethnic cleansing route
Or democratic route with a muslim or arab majority or population parity thus ending the jew state

Israel recalls envoys from 2 states over UN resolution

Israel summoned envoys from Senegal and New Zealand over anti-settlement vote

Palestinians hail UN resolution on Israeli settlements


UN votes to stop Israeli settlements as US abstains

By Anees Barghouti

JERUSALEM

Israel has summoned ambassadors from Senegal and New Zealand following their support for a UN resolution condemning Israeli settlement building in the occupied territories.

On Friday, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution demanding Israel to halt settlement building and expansion in the Palestinian territories.

The resolution, which was co-sponsored by Malaysia, New Zealand, Senegal and Venezuela, was passed by a 14-0 vote after the United States abstained.

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had recalled Israel’s ambassadors in Senegal and New Zealand for consultation, in response to the UN resolution on settlements,” his office said in a statement.

According to the statement, Netanyahu also cancelled an upcoming visit by the Senegalese foreign minister to Israel and abolished Israeli aid programs to Senegal.

Netanyahu had harshly criticized the anti-settlement resolution, describing it as “anti-Israel” and “shameful”.

“The Obama administration not only failed to protect Israel against this gang-up at the U.N., it colluded with it behind the scenes,” he said, vowing that Israel will not comply with the resolution.

The last UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlement building was adopted in 1979.

The U.S. vetoed a similar resolution in 2011, which was the sole veto cast by the Obama administration.

Israeli outrage

The UN resolution has brought Netanyahu under fire for his handling of the anti-settlement vote.

Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak described the resolution as an “unprecedented failure at the UN security council”.

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must immediately fire his Foreign Minister,” Barak said.

Israeli left-wing parties blamed Netanyahu for deteriorating relations between Israel and U.S.

Former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, for her part, called for resuming peace talks with the Palestinians, which collapsed in 2014 over Israel’s refusal to halt settlement building.

“We must resume the peace talks with the Palestinians in order to avoid further anti-Israeli resolution at the UN security council,” she said.

In Chicago, on bended knee, boy Obama learned to hate Jews and Israel from Black Nationalist Jeremiah Wright and from Black Muslim Louis Farrakhan. It is a mystery why American Jews, who love Israel, supported Obama by 90+%. Today, Obama showed his heart-felt antisemitism. Today, we saw the real Obama.

Hate jews, hate jews .... such a boring cliche

No one cares about "jews". why would anyone hate a religion? your defense mechanisms are just boring.

and this is the level of your intellect: "Obama hates jews because he voted "abstain" in a vote against Israeli crimes". such a wonderful and intelligent thing to say.

by the same logic, all other states who voted FOR the resolution are pure evil. everyone is evil except our neo-Nazi brothers in Tel-Aviv . yeah.....

You seem to forget the $30B he gave Israel...A leach never tires of sucking blood. Don't forget to thank the Arab states that voted against or abstained after a call from Trump, like PUSSY EGYPT.

Egypt voted in favour of the Resolution like every other vote it has cast and every resolution it circulated on this issue.

The reason the Foreign Ministry withdrew its own Resolution is a result of its own idiocy in both timing and reaction to pressure. Circulating a resolution like this two months before a change in US administration is the height of stupidity. Delaying or withdrawing the motion after US pressure (something the FM has never done before) was also boneheaded and only made Egypt appear weak. Shambles.

14 nations including Egypt voted for
1 nation abstained, the US which usually vetoes
