Israeli Settlements

Obama gives big thumbs up to settlements at UN (and kills the two-state solution –Haber)

Well, we've vetoed the UN resolution on the Israeli settlements. We were the only Security Council member to vote against it. Of the 15 Security Council members, these 14 countries supported the measure.

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

Another 120 non-security council countries were rumored to be supporting the measure. We vetoed it.

How in the world did the US, historically a "good-guy" in world politics, end up basically alone on the wrong side of this argument? We are now the only country in the world supporting the land theft by this thug-ish, war-making, rogue nation. This has got to be one of, if not the, dumbest foreign policy move by the US in my lifetime.

It's probably the final nail in the coffin of any middle-east peace process add will certainly add some anti-American heat to already simmering middle eastern pot.

A very bad move Mr Obama
