Barack Obama has less than a month remaining as president, and the world is taking advantage.
This week the United Nations quickly pushed through a resolution that would declare Israeli settlements illegal. The measure was fast-tracked largely in order to take advantage of the Obama administration’s tepid relationship with Israel — something that will likely change once Donald Trump assumes office in late-January. The resolution passed on a 14-0 vote.
In the end, the United States didn’t even vote on the controversial resolution. Despite having veto power over any U.N. resolution, American U.N. Ambassador Samantha Powers chose to abstain from the vote, allowing the resolution to pass unanimously.
It was perhaps the most cowardly thing the Obama administration could have done. They were too afraid to stand up for Isreal and too afraid to finally admit that they don’t care about the Israeli people.

I have called for the complete defunding of the UN and the removal of the UN from America many times and do so again!
I am glad you mentioned that Michael. I came on here to make the same suggestions. They really need to proof their articles before posting them especially the headlines.

Maybe you should educate yourself. Palestine does not own any land. They are immigrants. And, yes, Obama is to blame for stabbing Israel in the back. Maybe you should also try reading the Bible. It will tell why America will always stand with Israel.
I think we should DEFUND the UN then kick them out of the US!!!!!!
Bill Wood forgot DEMOCRATS=SLAVERY
