In a move Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin termed “historic,” all 14 other members of the United Nations Security Council united today to offer statements slamming the United States for its decision to block a UN Security Council resolution on Israel’s settlement expansion.
Israel announced the latest in a long line of such expansions on Sunday, and it has been roundly criticized by virtually every nation on the planet, with European Union officials in particular warning the move harmed the prospect of peace talks.
The US termed the UN Security Council divided, by which of course they meant a 14-1 division between the US and the rest of the world. Israel issued a statement condemning the UN Security Council for almost criticizing them and demanded that they instead focus on Iran.
There have been no peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority since September 2010, when the partial freeze on settlement expansion ended. Since then Israel has announced several massive expansions in the occupied West Bank, with the most recent ones couched as “punishment” for the Palestinians for seeking UN recognition.
as americas first mixed race president, obama should be much more sensitive to the racist apartheid and ethnic cleansing taking place in palestine…
it truly beggars all logic
obama has snow white's wicked stepmother's mirror
US would also join the free world in the vote , if the government was not afraid of the "NAZI LOBBY"
And there will still be a chorus of delusional whiners claiming Obombya has thrown poor little Israel under the bus….
Is there any words to describe the sheer utter disgust the world have for israel and america.
Disgraceful? Hypocritical? Stupid? Craven yet servile? Vile racist zionism?
loathsome
or
despicable
Why the US is so besotted with the rogue state of Israel is beyond all reason. The cult of Israeli exceptionalism mis threatening the whole planet. Surely it is time to put this wannabe statelet in its place or has the "cult of the holocaust" paralysed what passes for thinking in the minds of all the people who should be safeguarding the interests of the American people.
A decaying nation has no character and american,s have become unacceptable to the world and their blind support for illegal Israeli politics.
Americans are most hated nation in the world including Europe.
The Untied Nations has been the poodle to the zionist. It no longer matters because the United Nations became second fiddle to NATO when it not only stood and watched but cheered members of the United nations attacking another member. That happened when the old colonial powers AKA NATO attacked Libya to steal its gold and oil.
The first game that the zionist played was moving into an arab community and act like miserable animals. The tactic worked and it continues today. The powerful people with money funded those who have no jobs but apparently have a source of supplies. The government of the USA and Israel clearly have no problems with the conduct of the settlers who are more of a terrorist organization than any other group. I know some will take exception to using the term terrorist as applied to the illegal setters but that is exactly what they are. They move in and yes murder when they can the local people. Their conduct is to force people to just flee because they are so disgusting individual. The sad thing is so many of the illegal settlers are really just that kind of people no matter the place they sleep and reproduce. Yes having babies is one thing that the animals of the illegal settlements are very good at. They have no other purpose but occupy land so their basic bio gets the better of them. Of course there is very little good in them.
Those that love Israel should be concerned the fact that the mass number of animals being created with this illegal settlement campaign will only produce the most filthy miserable fellow citizens when they run out of arabs. Next they might just jump on special buses and beat up old jewish woman because did not they have the right or more the case of no one controls the filth.
The answer is the boycott of goods and that is what works. Find those companies who support aggression and stop buying their products. Buy local product and help your neighbor and hopefully they are better than the poor suffering arabs have in the holy land.
Tom,
To compare zionist settlers to animals is an insult to the animal kingdom.
The zionist settlers are people, albeit perhaps the most disgusting on earth.
You are right on the other point – boycott Israeli goods.
the UN only matters when it serves our interests, like when we want to bash Syria's assad or manipulate it to place illegal and unwarranted sanctions on Iran.
If it doesnt serve out interests, like when we want to invade countries or commit acts of terror or support israels policy of genocide, then we simply ignore the UN or call them a bunch of $h!ts
What is Israel holding over Americas head ,to be able to get away with all this?
Over the years, I've often asked myself the same question. What is the Zionist Albatross around America's neck?
I left America many years ago and this article sheds light on one of the reasons. Happy to no longer be living in and supporting with tax dollars, the belly of the beast.
Our forefathers were against alliances and foreign entanglements, as they can only bring on serious problems. Yet, the Du fuss American regimes, over the last 60 or so years have created a worse-case scenario in having an economically and morally bankrupt alliance with Zionist Israel.

Above all this….America being what it is, will come around next fall and again elect Obama and restore congress to where they are now, and then come back here again and write how these guys are just disgusting!
Power tends to corrupt, as the famous quotation points out, and the urge to get re-elected trumps common sense, principle, history and eventually decency.
For history to repeat itself is always optional. Why some repeatedly make a bad choice then whine?
Arrogance and imaginary superiority never lasted and never will.
