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

Bravo! It's about damn time, Israel shouldn't be allowed to build illegal settlements. Period

I'm glad Obama got to stick it to Bibi before leaving office. This is great.

Uh, no.  This is sick....I'm starting to agree with what Gene Simmons (of the rock band "Kiss") has said about the UN...."they're a paper tiger....they're garbage".  Seriously, they let dictators like the Iranian guy (whose name I can't spell) take their podium, and lecture them on what their world view is supposed to be.  Pathetic.  Sad

My only objection is that I would have preferred a U.S vote in favor of the resolution over just an abstention.

This resolution will lead to absolutely nothing, but I'm glad U.S. stood on the right side of this issue for once.  Maybe the last time.

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.

"I'm starting to agree with Gene Simmons" is a sign that means you should re-consider your views.

Obama just killed the UN out of sheer spite at Israel. Amazing.

This piece of paper will mean nothing come January 20th. The only question is, how far will his spite take him, and will it ring bells that could result in setting the ME on fire?

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.

Palestinian government officials have made clear that not a single Jew will be allowed to remain in areas they claim as theirs. In this resolution, that includes the Western Wall.

Ruthless goyim have tried to force us out of our holiest sites before. There's a holiday coming up that's all about it. It didn't end well for them. It won't end well for them this time either.

Yes.  The only thing that does is make anti-semitism seem okay.

Exactly. We've probably just screwed ourselves, but at least we did something nice first.

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.
