PJ: This scathing opinion about America's recent veto of a resolution by the UN Security Council condemning continued Israeli settlements has been echoed around the world. And while US officials have suggested that signing the resolution would have prevented progress in the peace process, they have not made their case strong enough to garner support or acceptance for their action.
The USA's veto of shame
"Shortly after taking office, Barack Obama stated in Cairo: "The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements [colonies]. This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements [colonies] to stop".
"On Friday, the United States of America vetoed the Arab-sponsored draft resolution in the United Nations Security Council condemning the Israeli settlements in the illegally-held West Bank, territory seized and held by Israel against international law in defiance of countless UN Resolutions."
