Good news from Israel - they are not listening to the United Nations - after all, it is less than 30 days until President Trump takes office. From the New York Times:
Defying U.N., Israel Prepares to Build More Settlements
Undeterred by a resounding defeat at the United Nations, Israel’s government said Monday that it would move ahead with thousands of new homes in East Jerusalem and warned nations against further action, declaring that Israel does not “turn the other cheek.”
Just a few days after the United Nations Security Council voted to condemn Israeli settlements, Jerusalem’s municipal government signaled that it would not back down: The city intends to approve 600 housing units in the predominantly Palestinian eastern section of town on Wednesday in what a top official called a first installment on 5,600 new homes.
The defiant posture reflected a bristling anger among Israel’s pro-settlement political leaders, who not only blamed the United States for failing to block the Council resolution, but also claimed to have secret intelligence showing that President Obama’s team had orchestrated it. American officials strongly denied the claim, but the sides seem poised for more weeks of conflict until Mr. Obama hands over the presidency to Donald J. Trump.
Good to hear - it is not like there ever was a "palestinian" people anyway, they are actually Hashamite Jordanian and their history was fabricated by the KGB when they installed Yasser Arafat into power in 1969. Read your history.
