I don't have any problem with the US acting and voting in their own interests, just as every single other nation does.  Israel will always be a great ally, that doesn't mean unflinching acceptance of every circumstance.  It's a nonbinding resolution from the feckless UN anyway.  Who care.

It's sad to see Israel committing political suicide with their closest ally, all over a non-binding resolution.  If Bibi had shown any interest at all in the two state solution aside from the faintest lip service, maybe we'd not be in this situation.  And to throw all his marbles in with Trump, who EVERYONE knows is untrustworthy and doesn't really give a **** about Israel, is incredibly short sighted.  

Regardless, it's becoming obvious that the 2 state solution is basically dead.  Israel has no interest in removing most of the settlements theyve illegally built.  Like Kerry said today, with a 1 state solution it either wont be Jewish or it wont be Democratic, and it seems pretty clear where many Israelis are comfortable siding on that one.

Hope im wrong!
