What’s new and what’s not in the U.N. resolution on Israeli settlements | Brookings Institution

Until last week, Obama had never let any UN resolution critical of Israel to pass. Since 1967, every other American president allowed many.

From Alan Dershowitz on the issue. A lifelong democrat. He recognizes the infamy of Obama and the knife in the back this move represents.

“[History will see President Obama] as one of the worst foreign policy presidents ever,” Dershowitz said.

“He called me into the Oval Office before the inauguration — he said he wanted my support, and he told me he would always have Israel’s back,” Dershowitz said. “I didn’t realize what he meant: That he would have Israel’s back so he could stab them in the back.”

He continued: “What he did was so nasty, he pulled a bait and switch. He told the American public this is all about the settlements deep in the West Bank. And yet, he allowed he representative to the U.N. to abstain –which is really a vote for– a resolution that says the Jews can’t pray at the Western Wall, Jews can’t live in the Jewish Quarter [of Jerusalem] where they have lived for thousands of years. And he’s going to say, ‘Whoops! I didn’t mean that!’ Well read the resolution! You’re a lawyer, you went to Harvard Law School.”

He also said: “This will make peace much more difficult to achieve because the Palestinians will now say ‘we can get a state through the UN’.”

I find this interesting, as it was pushed to the front of the list for the UN to Vote and discuss after BHOs Last UN Address ...
its even More Interesting On the fact a UN Ambassador to the UN Abstained from Voting by the order of POTUS on the Affairs of an Ally ...
As Usual He threw the Israelis Under the Buss... and Did it before the Trumpster could put a True supporter of Israel in The Worthless UN..
