US House passes motion repudiating UN resolution on Israel
Times of Israel ^ | January 6, 2017, 2:25 am | Eric Cortellessa

The US House of Representatives passed a scathing rebuke Thursday night to a United Nations Security Council resolution the Obama administration allowed through last month that condemned Israeli settlements as illegal.

House Resolution 11 declared the UN motion a “one-sided” effort that is an obstacle to peace, placing disproportionate blame on Israel for the continuation of the conflict and encouraging Palestinians from engaging in direct, bilateral negotiations. […]

Introduced by California Rep. Ed Royce (R) and New York Rep. Elliot Engel (D), the top two members of the House Foreign Affairs committee, the resolution was co-sponsored 105 other House members, including 31 Democrats.

Using the same language that’s included in a complimentary Senate resolution introduced Wednesday, the House measure called for the Security Council resolution to be “repealed or fundamentally altered.” …

The UN building should be relocated to Zimbabwe.

Except the dipshit Paul Ryan had to add his support of the fraudulent “2 state solution” to his comments — even though Trump had those words STRIPPED from the RNC platform. This guy is poison, just like his detestable liberal Democrat wife.

The RINOs wouldn’t have had the guts to do this a few months ago. What could have changed? Is it Obam-Amin on his way out, and Trump on his way in? They suddenly grow some? Amazing.

Sound like Ryan has his head stuck up his wife’s libtard va-jay-jay.

Out of curiosity, is Ryan a closet Muslim or did he grow that beard to show his affinity for some other group? That struck me as odd that he became Speaker and grew a beard. (I know he shaved it off.)

Obama would not have pulled this move before now anyhow. And of course it’s no skin off the Dems’ nose to join in with this. More Kabuki theater, I suspect.

I see that Illinois Comrade Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill) voted against this resolution. Keeping his record straight on opposing our friends and supporting our communist and militant Islamic enemies. At least this traitor is consistent in his Marxist mania.

Weather wise it is more pleasant in Sana’a, Yemen at 5500 ft elevation surrounded by mountains. No Air-conditioning required.

The “2 state solution” is included in the Declaration of Principles (1993) and the Interim Agreement (1995) on Palestine that were signed by Israel. I don’t know why you’d call that idea “fraudulent,” and give Paul Ryan any grief over it.

How is a “two state” solution possible?

The Palestinians are just squatters without a country and refuse to recognize that Israel is a sovereign country.

Democrats in congress were actually implying that Jews should not be allowed to live where they want to.

Ryan is a fair weather friend, traitorous snake in the grass, a viper working for the NWO globalists thinking he will come through this time unscathed and be the token ‘conservative’ nominee for President sometime in the future,

President Trump needs to push him aside or shine a light on just who it is that Ryan serves,

1. I have no idea if a "two state" solution is possible. I'm simply pointing out what Israel's own government has already agreed to.

2. Are they still "squatters" if they've been there for multiple generations?
