Anti-Settlement Vote

Deputy FM: Anti-settlement vote proves UN is "rubber stamp" for Arab nations - Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News

The Israeli Deputy Foreign minister Daniel Ayalon said the Anti-settlement vote proves that the UN is a rubber stamp for the Arab nations.

I would disagree. There are 15 nations in the security council.

China
France
Russia
England
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Brazil
Colombia
Gabon
Germany
India
Lebanon
Nigeria
Portugal
South Africa
United States

I don't really see a lot of "Arab" nations on that list.

Of those nations, ALL OF THEM (say that again,... ALL OF THEM, England, Russia, every one of them), voted for the resolution to demand Israel stop building Israeli settlements on Palestinian land. Again, all of those nations voted for the resolution.

The US Vetoed it.

It seems to me like our vote proves we are a rubber stamp for the Israeli nation.

Like it or not, we're on the wrong side of this argument.
