A smaller than expected UN majority condemns Trump’s Jerusalem policy
The motion before the UN General Assembly emergency session condemning President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital was carried Thursday by 128 votes out of 193 member-nations, with 9 voting against, 35 abstaining and 21 absent. The US threat to count the countries who voted against when it came to US aid had some effect. The vote indicated a split in the European Union, with the West solidly in favor of the condemnation and the countries of eastern Europe either opposing it or abstaining from vote: They are Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Poland and Romania. The vote was opposed by the US, Israel, Honduras, Guatemala, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Togo, Nauru and southern Sudan.
This result should be a wake up call for Israel, abide the law and make peace agreement now, do same mutual agreed land swap,then sealed it with UN Resolution. Judging from its countries population, 90% world citizen opposing US declaration on Jerusalem. Israel’s future with current behavior looks bleak.
If Israel went according to “90% world citizen”, it would’ve been gone a long time ago…
Those of ‘90%’ doesn’t want to destroy Israel. They are just want Israel to be a lawful and legitimate country. If Israel want have a right to exist so with Palestinian. So what is your suggestion now? Israel with 1948 borders, 1967 borders or 2017 borders? One state or Two state solutions?
Its not Israel s behavior but the same nazi ww2 attitude towards Jews you fool. Jerusalem has always been oue capitol only occupied and devided once in its history from 1947 to 1967 by Jordan.
You cannot make peace with a nation that calls upon destruction and death of people.
Palestinians rejected peace multiple times when israel tried to make a peace deal. Since 1980 and nothing ever changed. So its time to try another approach . Great job for Israel
Nonsense worldcitizen. Israel will exist forever. There is no such thing as Palestinian.
Is a UN Resolution law?? And does a majority make it right? The answer to both is “NO!!”
Bibi was very proud of the one and only DEMOCRATIC state in ME. Do you understand what the meaning of democratic or democracy?
” make peace agreement now, do same mutual agreed land swap,then sealed it with UN Resolution.”
The only “agreed land swap” the so-called “Palestinians” would be interested in is all of Israel for themselves.
“worldcitizen”———–NAIVE, as always and exactly as the name implies.
Dave where have you been? have you read Oslo accord, Quartet Recommendation and Arab Peace Initiative? All of them pointing to Two state solutions, So what is your suggestion then?
You always conflating the situation Dave, I’m not naive nor a Jew hater(in case you throw usual accusation).
“Israel’s future with current behavior looks bleak.” I’d say that the future of the rest of the world looks a lot bleaker. G-d didn’t bring the Jews back to Israel just so that weak leaders could give it away.
Which Israel, 1948s Israel, 1967s Israel? or in year of 202x, in the area that once it known formally as Israel, now gone.
“Which Israel, 1948s Israel, 1967s Israel? or in year of 202x, in the area that once it known formally as Israel, now gone.”
@worldcitizen,
Looks like you inadvertently admitted what the intentions of the Palestinians have been all along——–but I really think you need to send your crystal ball out for calibration——-it’s long over due!
In UN business as usual, same music and same dance, but it slowly changing. All their countries wasn’t existed when Jerusalem was build as a jewish capital.
Keep your head buried, then everything is ok.
“A smaller UN majority voted against US.” Only 14 of the 15 Security Council members, including US closest allies, and In General Assembly, 128 members voted against US, with only 9 abstaining or supporting. Fear of aid cuts? Lots of luck.
A majority is always wrong. It is easy to be part of the crowd. It is hard to stand out. Great leaders look into the future and have power, wisdom and capacity to implement their vision. The crowds follow.
Well said.
Well said, Shimon!
Hey worldcitizen, Israel wants peace with palestinians. Palestinians don’t want peace with Israel:
Israel gave Gaza to them, only wanting peace in return. Instead they receive bombings, kidnapping, tunnels and terror aimed at Israeli citizens.
That’s the reality. Time to realize it.
Don’t lie here pal, Israel leave Gaza unilaterally, and never gave/leave Gaza 100% as your claim. After leave Gaza, Israel imposed buffer zone 20-40km crafted inside Gaza beside sea and land blockage. for additional there were alot of problem unresolved at that time, such as prisoner, water and electricity. Palestinian was ask Israel to release jailed Palestinian, but no response. What should Palestinian do then?
Really? Israel is an occupier or invader according to UN Resolutions. What Israel should do is ‘JUST LEAVE OCCUPIED LANDS’ per dozens UN Resolutions. How come Palestinian could accepted peace offers while Israel continue building its Illegal settlement? Or accepted peace agreements with so many precondition or irrational request such as No Palestinian Army, No Palestinian air sovereignty’s and unfair land swaps, beside no right of return for Palestinian refugees. Israel’s peace proposal seems was designed to be rejected.
Olmert who was kicked out of office, offered what you wanted including the western wall, but a no go since Abbas wants to settle Israel with the wild hordes of 5M “refugees”. You really think that we would agree with this. That shows that the PA is not serious.
Palestinians didn’t accept Israel before 1967 when there did not exist any “OCCUPIED LANDS”!. According to the Palestinians, all of Israel is “OCCUPIED LANDS”.
which Palestinian? Hamas? According to Likudniks or Lieberman party’s, all ME is Israel.
“According to Likudniks or Lieberman party’s, all ME is Israel.”
Do you actually have any documentation for that claim, worldcitizen ?????
Specifically, where is your supporting documentation for your claim that they regard “all of the Middle East is Israel” ?
Dave, do you know Oded Yinon?, he is likudniks. According to him Israel area covering almost ME area. Do your own research.
“Palestinians didn’t accept Israel before 1967 when there did not exist any “OCCUPIED LANDS”!. According to the Palestinians, all of Israel is “OCCUPIED LANDS”.
Great point———-and so very true!
The UN GA vote is irrelevant because it is meaningless. Jerusalem has been the undivided capital of Israel since June 1967, and the USA finally recognized this fact as reality 50 years later. This fact and American recognition of it cannot and will not ever be changed. This is reality, deal with it.
FYI, In 1967 there was no Hamas
We should ignore ignoramus’s like wc. You can’t win. A nazi will always be a nazi and a lying jew hater will always be a lying jew hater. But one last comment to wc…FUCK YOU!!!
Lol
Diddo
Thank you and you’re WRONG. I’m not a Jew hater or Nazi.
so basically what the Bible predicted the worlds attitude would be at the end…
You’ve never read the Bible. Your version was written by some king somewhere not long ago. Your misguided like the rest of the crazy evangelist and the isisrealis are counting on that.
Bruce Lee retard…you sure it is not stated in the Bible? Read Luke 21:24 about Jerusalem being trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are over. That was prophecy regarding 6 June 1967. This is also found in the book of Revelation 11:2 regarding the return of the Holy City to Israel. The exact time-frame was given. You do not know anything about the Mathematical precision of prophecy you spiritual prostitute! These are the words of Jesus. Read Romans 9. You are probably a anti-Semitic false Christian (Roman Catholic, SDA, etc) piece of horse manure.
