14 Talkbacks for this article
1. Time's Up Israel
Muayyad ,   Palestine   (12.23.10)
Time to end the occupation and withdraw to '67 lines.
2. the palis + the UN = decomposed archives
josef   (12.23.10)
Another piece of garbage drafted by despicable characters, to be presented to other despicable and perverted characters, at the most despised institution of the civilized world. Jew haters in the best Tzarist tradition. THE UN ! Arab ' avant guard" to subdue the infidels.
3. Palestine=Jordan.
Observer ,   UK   (12.23.10)
You 'Palestinians' are like an hyena in disguise of small cute puppy. Don't forget some people remember your true nature. hypocrites. You try to avenge your defeat in the 1967 Six Day War, by diplomatic measures, based on political correctness..
4. USA should abstain from UN vote on illegal settlements
Joseph Blough ,   USA   (12.23.10)
US policy has always been that Israel's settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian West Bank is illegal, so the US, in light of Israel's snubbing or the US and Obama's failure to lead, should abstain and let the the UN do its job. The USA has had its chance and failed miserably, so it is time for the UN and EU to take over and bring this conflict to an end based upon international law and existing UN resolutions.
5. the republican congress might be able to water this down
zionist forever   (12.23.10)
Obama & his obsession with appeasing the arab & islamic world will probably prevent him vetoing this but with a new more pro Israel Republican dominated Congress may be able to put enough pressure onto Obama to water down this resolution to little more than a condemnation and not much more.
6. Interfering in Internal Affairs
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (12.23.10)
The West Bank is sovereign Israeli land by virtue of the Palestinians waging and LOSING five wars and innumerable acts of terrorism in Israel and across the globe. Jordan was carved out of Palestinian lands yet the Palestinians say nothing to Jordan. The world should see this for what it is, another terror attack against Jews.
7. Israel = Palestine...
(12.23.10)
...Always did, always will.....
8. #1, #4
Solomon ,   Bklyn   (12.23.10)
#1- There is no such thing as the " '67 lines". That is a euphamism for the '48 armistice lines (which the Arabs refused to recognize) to make them sound magnanimous. Next, Arabs will want to go back to the lines the UN declared in Res 181. All that is water under the bridge. They refused, they started wars, they lost. From #3 this talkback: " You try to avenge your defeat in the 1967 Six Day War, by diplomatic measures," Agreed. #4- Yes, it should be based on REAL not PERCEIVED International Law. This holds that the land is occupied but the Owner [and therefore the identity of who is the Occupier] is in dispute.
9. Wording is key to US vetoing or abstaining
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (12.23.10)
If wording just right then US may have no option but to abstain in UNSC vote, since US would look 2 faced to the world and under cut its influence. The Arabs/PA normally go a bit over board in their statements but with 14 countries helping write who knows?
10. Thanks to Bibi, the US will abstain, next in line sanctions
Clear ,   London   (12.23.10)
2011 is looking good
11. ClerarLondon
JUDAH THE LION   (12.23.10)
How you know US will abstain? Sanction will not happen for many reason. As the former PM of Spain said,QUOTE: ISRAEL GOES DOWN EUROPE WILL GO DOWN.
12. Middle east conflict
(12.23.10)
will never ever come to an end. UN,EU, can do ====== all unless ISRAEL approves.End story
13. War in the M/E
(12.23.10)
Big war is coming in the M/E.It will be RUTHLESS & ViSCOUS WAR.WW2 will be nothing
14. no 13 War in the M/E
Christian citizen ,   EU   (12.24.10)
Th next war in the M/E will be very viscous,and hundreds of thousands will be killed from both sides. Israel should tell the world if there will be a war.any land Israel capture will never be returned. This will be compensation for Israeli blood. I SUPPORT ISRAEL & THE ISRAELI CAUSE..
