| Appears the US did more than simply 'abstain' from the UN Israeli settlement vote |

| [Breitbart] Ukraine’s decision to vote in favor of the resolution appears to demonstrate the extent to which US President Barack Obama was behind the decision. According to officials in Israel, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, a Jew who is thought of as one of Israel’s main supporters, wanted that his country not be involved in the consultations held on the resolution. However, Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko decided to vote in favor of its passage following a telephone conversation with US Vice President Joe Biden. "The text of the resolution is balanced," Kiev asserted. "It calls for taking measures necessary for peaceful solution from both Israeli and Palestinian sides: Israel should stop its settlement activities while Palestinian authorities ‐ to take effective measures toward fighting against terrorism." |

| #12 O should be careful. Of all the state actors that could successfully reach out and 'touch' him after he leaves office. Israel would be top of the list, Russers too. |

| #10 If he keeps playing around, Mr. Zero may find himself forever known as the President who tipped the US out of the UN and the UN thence into obscurity. I could actually get on board with legacy bit like this! |

| #8 Israel’s right to build homes is settled … under international law. [snip] "The notion that there is any moral equivalence between Jews building homes in their homeland that they won back in a defensive war (after it was illegally occupied by Jordan) and brutal terrorists illegally occupying land that was never given to them, is reprehensible. But first, a brief history lesson … The only binding resolution of international law, a resolution which has never been countermanded to this very day, is the July 1922 Mandate for Palestine. Adopted by the League of Nations, that resolution recognized the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.” It called for the creation of a Jewish national homeland anywhere west of the Jordan River.
