Multiple sources from across the Jewish organizational world and in Congress are accusing the Obama administration of stabbing “Israel in the back” on Friday by choosing not to veto a United Nations resolution censuring the Jewish state, according to conversations with sources.
The resolution, which has been floating through the U.N. for some time, finally came to a vote in the Security Council on Friday, where the Obama administration reversed years of policy by abstaining from the vote instead of vetoing it.
The decision quickly drew outrage across the pro-Israel community and in Congress, where multiple sources told the Washington Free Beacon that the incoming Trump administration is likely to pursue consequences for the U.N.’s action.
Israeli officials also lashed out at the Obama administration, calling its behavior “shameful” and alleging that President Obama used the anti-Israel vote as a way to express his hostility for the Jewish state before vacating the Oval Office.

Israels founding was not quite that neat and sanitary
Contrary to wishful thinking here some Palestinians lost their property and homes who had zero to do with the “conquest”
War ain’t fair naturally and it’s pretty obvious since then who’s more morally right than the other
My opinion is formed from working in Israel with Israeli Jews who take part in the founding and were members of Hagannah and the Ergun as well as Palestinian Christians or Christian Arabs if u prefer
Approximately 8-10% were Christian Arabs
About half catholic and half Christian
When I read here that no innocent Arabs were expelled and lands and business confiscated I say to myself bullshit
No Israelis short of Kahane types but that notion
The Arabs and Druze who remained in the mandate bitders were those with the good fortune to live in uncontested areas or politically connected
Decent Arabs were caught between murdetous arabs who’d kill them for not helping or Jews who wanted their land
A hard spot
Palestinian Christians like the ones I know are erudite educated folks often more European looking and not crazy emotive in the streets thugs like the Muslim rabbits
It’s more complicated than typically acknowledged on this forum
But it’s kind of reverted the natural order now
The Christians who fought the Jews hard early on gave slowly hone to the pragmatic side in the age of hezbollah and isis
One caveat though
Israel detests Assad the minor because of his hezbollah proxy love yet Assad is best pal Christians in that shithole war have
And by extension now Putin
Course now Trump too hopefully

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Psalm 2
