Why did Obama not veto the anti-Israel resolution?

[Derec]

He is going full-left wing in the lame duck period - he stopped DAPL, he blocked Arctic drilling, he appointed Wesley Cook's lawyer for "civil rights" post (what a joke) and now he sold out our best ally in the Middle East to the UN wolves.
WTF?

 

[Loren Pechtel]

Sold out?? This isn't going to matter in the big picture. It's just a fuck-you, nothing more.

because european had enough of terrorist state of israel bring terrorism into europe

 

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

The resolution says no settlements in the west bank which israel says it doesnt support anyway. Plus the resolution is nonbinding. Why get all extremist on Obama about this?

Because it upset Bibi.

There's nothing worse than saying Israel violated international law. It's like, the worst thing ever. The US must do everything in its power to prevent other people from saying it or, Gawd forbid, having some sort of on-the-record agreement about it. That's our role as World Police. We must stop people from saying Israel violated international law, especially when it's true.

So what you are saying it is a form of alt-PC.

While the UN spends too much time on Israel, Israel is in the wrong here with the settlement expansion.

I don't see why one ally should support another ally in their wrongdoing.

 

[barbos]

Obama had pretty crappy relation with Israel, so this is a payback, kinda like Putin paying back Hillary for talking trash by hacking her emails, right?

A lot of people in the US think Israel can do no wrong.

There are two issues. One is the right of Israel to exist but that was not the issue as to whether Israel has the right to rule 'Israel.' The issue voted on is it's colonisation of Arab properties and lands regardless of the fact some of these have been in their possession for hundreds of years.
Whether Israel claims sovereignty over Israel, it's another issue when Arabs in that area (or occupied territories) are kicked out of their homes because Jewish settlers have a superior right. This is rather like Germany in the 1930s.

The West didn't need Israel for this.

It can only be explained by blind ideological devotion. There is absolutely no necessity in the settlement building. It is purely done on a bullshit political or religious basis in order to thwart any possibility of a two state solution.

Now if only someone put out resolution about Saudi Arabia being fucking assholes. There is still time.

Why should the US continue to support a policy which guarantees peace will not be possible in the lifetime of anyone currently breathing?

 

[Elixir]

Good for Obama. No need to yet again endorse Israel's illegal activities, nor to reinforce its collective sense of entitlement. All Obama did was to let the UN community express its opinion - no blame should accrue to Obama for not suppressing that expression.

Now.... one more thing before you go, Barack...
Put Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court.


Now THAT would show our trumpsuckers some defiance of PC!

Where's the Jewish terrorism in Europe????

Or are you saying that Muslims are subhumans that can't avoid responding to the provocation of the existence of Israel?

You mean the existence of Israel? Because that's what's actually preventing peace.

There are three plausible paths to peace.

1. The Israelis push all Palestinians into the Jordan River.

2. The Palestinians push all the Israelis into to the Mediterranean Sea.

3. The nations of Israel and Palestine exist beside each other as sovereign states.

Of the three choices, only the last is technically feasible, while being politically impossible. Those who favor options 1 or 2, are the reason option 3 cannot succeed.

Agreed... especially the Jewish community. Many (most, all) Jewish communities would excommunicate a member for implying Israel ever did anything less than perfect.

4. (and this is as unrealistic as the others, but what the hell) Blow it up and create a new nation that is not predicated upon the idea that the land was granted to either group by a deity. That is, after all, the root of the problem. Call it Israelistine, eliminate the internal borders (walls included) and grant citizenship and equal rights to anyone living within the new borders. Are you a Jewish family who wants to settle in the West Bank? You can't just bulldoze a Palestinian's house. You'll have to buy the land from them. Are you a Palestinian who wants to live and work in what was once Israel? No problem. You just have to find a place and get a job, and nobody can discriminate against you because you're from Gaza.
