John Kerry Working On Another UN Resolution That Would Officially Recognize A Palestinian State

2016-12-28

[DCclothesline] Multiple media outlets are reporting that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is finalizing a document that the Obama administration hopes will form the basis for a UN Security Council resolution that officially recognizes a Palestinian state before the end of Barack Obama’s term on January 20th. This comes on the heels of the UN Security Council’s adoption of resolution 2334 on December 23rd. That resolution declared that all Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal, it stated that the Security Council recognizes the 1967 ceasefire lines as the border between Israel and "Palestine", and it officially gave East Jerusalem to the Palestinians. But it stopped short of formally recognizing a Palestinian state. Resolution 2334 speaks of a Palestinian state in the future tense, but this new resolution that John Kerry is reportedly working on would give immediate and permanent UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian state.
Giving validity to a criminal gang every sane Arab "country" has thrown the hell out. Nice.

#12 Be amusing if Putin used his Security Council veto on the new resolution as a favor to his new BFF, the Donald.

#10 Video of soon to be former Secretary of State John Kerry giving the speech today, all almost 75 minutes of it here.

For those interested but with less time, The Times of Israel liveblogged the thing along with other events of the day, starting at their time 18:24 here.

#8 As I thought this speech was basically a vision with some small number of rational statement, numerous contradictory ideas, equivocation and outright nonsense.

I liked the idea that a future Palestinian state should be non militarized but of course the only way to enforce that would be if Israel kept troops in the Palestinian State. Uh, isn't that what we have now.

#7 From the speech "This administration has done more for Israel than any other". "Two state solution only way to insure peace".

#5 Let's not forget, Kerry has many family members that are married to Mo's. He is probably doing this for personal financial gain.

#4 They will do anything to destroy Israel.

#3 also possible is that Kerry gives a 'vision' speech during which he can enjoy listening to himself

he's actually much better at that than any substantive stuff

#2 John Kerry > The Pink Bicycle man? Didn't he break his leg falling off a girl's bicycle? That guy?

He went to Antarctica to see Global Warming recently, I think.
The Democrats sure know how to pick 'em. WHERE do they FIND these choice morsels?

John Kerry, soon to find the EXIT. BUH-byeee.

Trump will have something for the UN, I think. Kerry and Obama can watch.....
