The vote has set a precedent in the UN that Trump can’t undo. The Pali’s can point to the vote from now on as “square one” for any negotiations.
The only logical step for Trump at this point — the only checkmate move, in my opinion — is to finally do what many of us have been urging for decades:
US out of the UN; UN out of the US.
BINGO
“The vote has set a precedent in the UN that Trump can’t undo. The Pali’s can point to the vote from now on as “square one” for any negotiations.”
Obama is so childish he believes he has boxed Trump in. The fact is, Trump can announce that it was an act of a departing president, not the policy of the USA, and then cut off money to the PA and the UN, move the embassy to Jerusalem.
This resolution can and will hit a brick wall.

Amen!
Yup. And I would love to see Trump do an unannounced quick trip to Israel within the first few months for the specific purpose of negotiating a new approach with Israel that would bypass the UN, then come back and push for withdrawl.
The UN will cave and adopt the US-Israel terms. If not, to hell with it.
Take back our $10 billion and watch them try to stand on ObeyMe’s “precedent.” Asshats.
amen brother
amen brother
“US out of the UN; UN out of the US.”
How about a compromise? We move it to California, then let them secede. :)
I support withdrawing from the UN, but no, no one vote means any such thing.
“The Pali’s can point to the vote from now on as “square one” for any negotiations.”
Trump is not likely to accept their idea of “square one”. Rumor has it that he has been involved in negotiations before.
That is the short and long of it.
The UN is a global party with the hats and whistles provided by Uncle Sam, gathered regularly to despise Israel and the West.
Dump the UN.
What a beautiful capper to the Obama legacy—to have brought about the downfall of the UN!
Is this UN vote a “Dred Scott” moment?...
Ive alway thought that the Civil War in the US never had to happen. The North and South could of work something out to end slavery..but then the Supreme Court gave us “Dred Scott” and that set the course to war because negotiation became impossible at that point
Is this UN same trigger? If we accept the UN resolution there’s nothing left for Israel to negotiate
Won’t happen, not on account of Israel, anyway. I’d have to take issue with Trump’s view that the disdain and disrespect started with Iran nuclear shenanigans. It started in 1948 at the state department, became palpable in the oval office during Jimmuh’s misrule, and became a steadily increasing fact of life when O finally took office, almost from day 1.
The underlying cause is simple. There are lots of Muslims, and they have lots of oil. Democracy, shmemocracy, there’s no getting around that, other than by economically competitive alternative sources to Middle Eastern oil. It can be done, and Israel is very actively working on cheap cold fusion, clean shale fracking, and other doable solutions. But until it’s done, even a friendly POTUS has got to play ball with the Saudis and other oil sheikdoms, and Israel is not enough of a casus beli to boot the UN out of the country, and besides, he has a lot of UN leeches paying him rent at the International Tower next door.
What he probably will do, is start whipping the UN into the shape it should be in to realize its “enormous potential”. In the interim, there have been no negotiations with the Palis since who-knows-when, and there will be no negotiations until who-knows-when, so this resolution can meet with a bitter fate in the interim in all sorts of ways, and only a possible follow-up resolution either recognizing a Pali state or imposing sanctions on Israel for non-compliance, or both, are worrisome, and Obama is just the one to have a proxy pull one out of his hat.
The precedence being an outgoing Administration’s attempt to derail the Nation’s sovereignty.
There is no enforcement of this UN BS, it can and will simply be ignored. It’s of symbolic importance only.
President-Elect Trump: Please tell the Israel-hating Barack Hussein Obama: You can’t spell Jerusalem without USA!
