The Breakdown of Netanyahu and the Israeli State
By James Baxley
What is the Fuss all about?
The United States on Friday, December 23, allowed U.N.
Security Council Resolution 2334 which condemns Israeli settlement construction
to be adopted. The Security Council approved the resolution with 14 votes, with
the US abstaining. Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. raised her
hand to abstain in the chamber when the resolution was put to a vote.
After the vote, Powers pressed that opposing
settlement expansion was “consistent with the bipartisan consensus” and
that "This resolution reflects trends that will
permanent destroy the two state solution if they continue on their current
course."
"Our vote today does not in any way diminish the
United States' steadfast and unparalleled commitment to the security of Israel,"
Power said.
Israeli Prime Minister . . . ‘more committed to settlements than any in
Israel’s history.’
