UN demands Israel quit settlements
It's too bad the General Assembly is toothless:
There were only eight votes against (I'll leave you to guess two who were among the eight).
New York- The United Nations has demanded that Israel immediately halt its controversial settlement policy, it was reported Saturday. "Settlements in the occupied Palestinian Territories, including East Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights (are) illegal and an obstacle to peace as well as economic and social development," a resolution passed by the UN General Assembly with 162 votes in favour late Friday in New York said.
There were only eight votes against (I'll leave you to guess two who were among the eight).
