… A spokesman for the British Prime Minister issued a statement criticizing Kerry’s focus on the Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem.

“We do not… believe that the way to negotiate peace is by focusing on only one issue, in this case the construction of settlements, when clearly the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is so deeply complex.”

There exists in the outgoing American administration a fundamental failure to come to grips with the election of DJT. Obama and his flunkies are completely off the rails. Nice response from the Brits

They also worked on the JCPOA with Obama. The Tories are the new Labour.

Kerry is po’d because his attempt to interfere with Israel’s last election backfired.

Then why did the UK vote in favor of the resolution? They knew exactly what Obama was doing.

Terrible decision by May and makes me wonder if we can trust her.

Something doesn’t add up. Change of heart? Fake news? Sloppy journalism?

England voted for Kerry’s position in that recent UN vote that hurt Israel.

They are nuts.

Maybe the UK's change of heart came after one of Israel's government ministers asked French Jews to leave France. The emigration of a loyal subculture that been part of the history of the UK since the 1600's might bring some clarity of thought to the current leadership there.

It is the difference between words and action. These cheap easy words cost the British government nothing. When it came to action they voted against Israel and as I understand it actually helped in drafting the motion.
Theresa May is not a conservative she is just another NWO stooge.

Yet they voted for the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334. So they are really no better then Kerry. Very sad that England voted the way they did.
