U.N. Passes Resolution Against Israel Settlements, U.S. Abstains

[Comrade Funk]

Thanks Obama. No, really, thank you for doing this. Palestinian terrorism doesn't make this crap justified.

[Comrade Funk]

A sad day in American history. Obama has proved that at this point, all he cares about is his legacy, whether or not it is good for America or consistent with our values.

Supporting illegal Israeli settlements are not consistent with American values.

Illegal settlements as a whole are pretty consistent with American values.

But that historical irony aside, the settlements weren't illegal until today, and Israel isn't bound to obey anti-semitic laws that declare Jewish presence in an area illegal.

Israeli presence, not Jewish presence. They have full Israeli rights, while non-Jews don't. Stop using anti-Semitism to describe condemnation towards settlements btw. It hurts the fight against real anti-Semitism.

[Comrade Funk]

HP move by an HP President. Barack Obama proves he truly is an enemy to peace and to democracies. His Anti-Israel legacy will haunt him for decades.

Explain to us how settlements are good for peace and democracy.

[Comrade Funk]

Shame to see so many people supporting a racist ideology against Palestinian and Arab people, so deplorable. One day the world will see the Israel settlement for what is, colonialism, and apartheid against people of a different race.

Sigh....here we go again! The Palestinians have been using terror and destruction to attempt to strike fear into Israelis for years.  They have no interest in peace at all.  Indeed, in the 90s, Israel and Palestine were closer to peace than ever before....but a Palestinian assassin had to ruin it by killing Yitzak Rabin, the prime minister of Israel.  The Palestinians hate the Jewish people...but they aren't the racists, people like me are.  Unbelievable....SMH. 

Nationalists on both sides skew towards racism. Why the hell do both sides paint it so black and white? Just cause one side is horrible doesn't mean the other is innocent. In this case. Quite the opposite.

Currently, the Joint Arab List has 13 seats in the Knesset. When seeing these polls, the Israeli right wing panicked, Benjamin Netanyahu filmed a disgusting, cheap political trick stinking of racism ('The Arabs are flocking to the ballots. The liberal organizations are bringing them with buses'). If your feverish, religious dream of annexing everything comes true, how many more do you think we'll get? 20? 40? Maybe 61, and an Arabic Prime Minister to boot? Yeah.

Hold up. I'm not proposing the annexation of Judea and Samaria right now. We should just keep building there, and focus on draining the swamp and ending the power of the courts instead. And even in the event that we annex it they should obviously not get voting rights on Israeli affairs. That should make people like you much more comfortable

Actually, that will make me very uncomfortable. I'd hate to see my country cease to be a democracy.
Besides, what do you mean by draining the swamp? The Likud has been in power for years. The swamp is the Likud, the Likud is the swamp.

At least he's honest in wanting an apartheid system

[Comrade Funk]

The Israeli government doesn't seem to understand that politics is a pendulum. The Democrats will regain power (hell, they won more votes this year, imagine if Trump is hated how they'll do). Netanyahu openly allying Trump and the GOP is good for the short term, but horrific for Israel in the long term. They need the Democrats more. GOP support is a given, but they continually spit in the faces of Democrats who already feel alienated.

[Comrade Funk]

In the last week, following that resolution, our Prime Minister went completely mad, severely damaging Israeli relations with nations such as New Zealand, Russia, Ukraine, Britain and of course, the Unites States. He seems to be mimicking Trump, mocking the President of the United States on Facebook, but he's not the leader of a world power, he leads a small country dependant on exports. Also, as you can see, he's vigorously kissing a certain body part of the President-Elect.
Whatever ounce of respect I had left for him, it's gone now.

This was inevitable. Anytime Israel is criticized even without repercussions, your PM acts like the whole world is Hitler
