1. Dont forget Egypt's role in thisinfamous vote
Alan ,   SA   (12.24.16)
2. 14 others voted yes but it is the US Abstention that has his
knickers in a twist? ,   amused   (12.24.16)
3. We reap what we sow
Jacob Edelman ,   NYC   (12.24.16)
One of my teachers used to repeat an old adage that went like this: I did what I wanted, and I got what I derived" . In other words I reaped what I sowed. PM Netanyahu and official Israel has been taking the world for a ride in the past 10 years, now it is world's turn to take Israel for a ride. Sad reflection on a Prime Minister who believes the old BS he has been dispensing to the crowds.
4. Israel must act like a sovereign nation
C   (12.24.16)
the nations have been plotting against us since time immemorial.

we saw their ugly glee at the unsc.
the nations will never stop plotting against the jews and the jewish state.
they are enraged that the jews now have a state and a jewish army.
they want us to be totally helpless and defenceless.

ironically, these very same nations, are baring their collective necks
to islam, to be slaughtered. they are incapable to defend
themselves and their populations.
they are slaves to backward muslim states who bribe, threaten
and blackmail them continually.
they let into their countries millions of uneducated young muslim
men who hate the west and christians.
these nations delude themselves into thinking that by castigating
the sovereign jewish state of israel, they will curry favour with
islam. nothing is further from the truth. islam does not believe in
international law, in compromise or the comity of states.
islam believes in the superiority of sharia law.

israel must learn to stand alone. she should accept real, honest
support, but shun the hypocrisy of the likes of obama.
all attempts to appease obama were bound to fail.
the man is an authoritarian who is incapable of compromise.
he would have acted the same way regardless of israel's
policies. the release of huge numbers of mass murdering
terrorists to please obama was an enormous mistake
obama is a pseudo-marxist with huge sympathies for
muslims. he prefers the terror state of iran to democratic
israel. he loves the muslim brotherhood but hates netanyahu
and his political party.
obama is the snake in the grass who has charmed naïve,
clueless, guilt filled people. he is a very skillful demagogue
who with his speeches, gestures and lies managed to inveigle
many millions into believing that his world view was the
new coming. that is how so many accepted two dangerous notions:
appeasing enemies by giving them free gifts will change their
behavior; blaming israel for the conduct of their muslim
neighbours will change their behavior.
5. Have a Happy Hanukkah!
Oleg ,   Mequon, US   (12.25.16)
Finally Obama will be gone in just couple weeks. He will try to put his dirt in any place possible, but to the whole world will take a fresh breath, when this piece of nothing is gone.
Israel, get out of UN. Who needs this useless organization. Fk them. They did not do anything good in their entire history.
Only bi-lateral agreements should be made with friends. Arabs, shmerabs let them live their miserable life. All they have is hatred and oil. Nothing else. And their hatred will only destroy them.
Have a Happy Hanukkah!
6. What's there to "reevaluate"?!Either we're in or out of this
(12.25.16)
farce. Nothing new has been added by the last of antisemitic "resolutions" by this disgraceful Arab/Muslim/Jihad-enabling "body".
7. Netanyahus threats
Jez ,   Netanya   (12.25.16)
I bet the other UN members will be quaking in their boots - Israel reevaluating its relationship with the UN. It seems that at the age of 67 Netanyahu is unlikely to grow up.
8. The USA and Israel and any sheep nations that stand with
Rivkah   (12.25.16)
Israel since Scriptures reveals there are seven sheep nations that stand with Israel in the latter days of Gentile world rule, should leave the U.N. and stop funding it and kick the U.N. our of NYC. Send the U.N. to Geneva where Nostradamus saw long ago a black hole created by the positive proton collider will cause Geneva to disappear and be gone from the earth. Better for the U.N. to be there and cease to exist.
9. UN Resolution Israeli Settlements - a Wakeup Call!
de Serres ,   Rome, Italy   (12.25.16)
When will Israel speak with one voice?
When will Israel accept that a Two State Solution will only sustain the violence and hatred?
One cannot divide what belongs together and regardless how you divide a loaf of bread each side will always claim that the other got the better end!
The solution can only be a One-State republic; the peaceful coexistence of religions will be the cradle of world peace. Can and will the people of Israel continue the wandering into the Promised Land? Anything less than continuing the journey would be a betrayal of the word of God, it is Israel’s responsibility and duty to God and the world to prove that God’s word is real.
The fight for a One-State Solution must begin now or Israel will face a dark future as its enemies will not stop at the Two-State Solution as they view it only as a stepping stone for the destruction of Israel.
Europe’s Two State position will only be strengthened by the recent influx of immigrants and their demands. USA, Turkey and Brexit will create a new political reality with Israel standing at the losing end. Any Israeli division will be exploited by its opponents and the USA will not be able to stop it.
The voices for a One State Solution have to unite and rise, to be heard and accepted as the only viable solution. One State Solution can count on the Trump administration and needs to concentrate on Europe to overcome any opposition. France, UK and Germany are key states with a changing electorate and the creation of a “New Europe”, all this represents an historic moment for the creation of the One State Solution.
The fight for a One State Solution must include:
• For the United States to cut off all business activities, funding and aid to Palestine until the One-State solution including Judea and Samaria has been implemented.
• Take advantage of Israel as a key importer for European business.
• Use any legitimate tool to stop conducting business, funding and aid to/with Palestine
by any UN organizations
by any NGO’s
by any government
by the EU
by any private person or entity
until the One-State solution has been implemented.
• Establish a One State Solution advocacy network
• Strip all Palestinians and Arabs of their Israeli citizenship if they reject the One-State solution or engage in non-peaceful opposition to Israel or any other country supporting Israel.
• Establish Israel as a Federal Republic with two chambers and direct candidates.

de Serres, Co-founder and Chair of Lagom House, worked on the development and implementation of both foreign and domestic policy on behalf of the US Federal Government for more than 20 years.

His main activities involved fostering regional stability and conflict resolution in areas around the world that posed a threat to global stability and US national security.

Work on US domestic policy included being part of a select vanguard team that sought a fundamental realignment of American politics by establishing a premier training organization for “change” candidates in elected office on the national, state and local level and in particular for candidates who could run for congress. This resulted in a successful congressional vote for a balanced budget requirement, tax cuts for small business, families and seniors, term limits for legislators, require that all laws that apply to the rest of the country apply to Congress, limit the terms of all committee chairs, elimination of proxy vote in committees and require that committee meetings be open to the public.
10. Netanyahu and the UN
Robert ,   Arsuf   (12.25.16)
No, those who voted for the UN Security Council Resolution are not Nazis. Stop the hysterical reactions to every anti-occupation and anti-settlement resolution in the UN. And it's high time for Bibi to stop blaming everyone else for his missteps and failures. Aren't we getting tired of his spin and shticks? His actions speak louder than his words.
11. I wonder why Bibi didn't see what was coming, or did he?
Harri ,   EU   (12.25.16)
Israel had all the opportunities to negotiate lasting peace with most of Jerusalem as your capital after Oslo Accords, but your extremists decided that it has to be all or nothing. Now it seems that it will be nothing.

1967 lines with mutually accepted land swaps is best you can get with Trump, because Trump will never make a deal with Israel if it means he may loose deals with all other nations (14-0). Trump will ask you what will he gain from the deal with Israel? Near to nothing. Trump may even calculate that the Obama 38 billion military aid is way too much.
12. Time for Israel to stop being Mr. Niceguy!
tiki ,   belgium   (12.25.16)
Time for Jews to stop being schmucks!
13. The 2 state solution is DEAD...like Obamas presidency.
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.25.16)
14. Netanyahu's anger
Sani ,   Vienna   (12.25.16)
Of course everyone should be angry with these so called friends of Israel that did not opose the resolution. But maybe there is also a good aspect in this resolution: Mr Netanyahu should be glad that his ultra rightist coalition partners that have hijacked Israel's political agenda, will have to restrain themselves and stop additional housing projects in the West-Bank. Israel should remain a jewish state with a jewish majority in each and every of its regions, whether it is Jerusalem or the beautiful Galilee. There should go the major housing projects, not in the West-Bank.
15. when will Israelis realize Netanyahu is a loser for THEM?
Rafi ,   US   (12.25.16)
wake up & small the roses: dump the right-wing zealots and their scheming apologist Netanyahu whose sole focus is to stay in office.
16. What does Israel get from the UN ?
Yoseff ,   Mexico City   (12.25.16)
The UN is run by petrodollars. All Arab countries hostile to Israel, What does Israel get from being a member of UN other than sanctions, condemnations, false accusations and slander . Time to say good bye and good riddance. The UN is a useless bureaucracy . Why has Israel never been asked to be part of the security council but Venezuela, Chad,Cuba,Egypt,Oman,Togo etc....to name a few, have been ? Why is Taiwan not a member of the UN? Because big bad China won't play in the same sand box. The UN is a farce. Time to leave the party where you are not wanted and fuck'em all !!!!
