The US House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan measure to disapprove a United Nations Security Council resolution that condemned Israeli settlements on the occupied Palestinian territories.
The motion, passed 342 to 80 on Thursday, described last month’s resolution as “an obstacle to Israel-Palestinian peace,” and was a rebuke to President Barack Obama’s approach to the US-Israel relationship.
It noted that the Obama administration’s decision to abstain – and not veto – the Security Council resolution “undermined” Washington’s decades-long policy of shielding Israel at the UN.
The congressional measure stated that the US “should oppose and veto future United Nations Security Council resolutions that seek to impose solutions to final status issues, or are one-sided and anti-Israel.”
In addition to a nearly unanimous Republican caucus, the measure received support from more than 100 Democrats, a significant margin that highlights broad backing for Israel on Capitol Hill.
A similar motion is expected to be taken up in the Senate.
Despite unprecedented amounts of military aid to Israel, the relations between President Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been characterized by major clashes largely over Israel’s settlement activities and the international nuclear agreement with Iran.
The relationship was further strained by the passage of UN Security Council Resolution 2334 on December 23 which demanded an immediate end to illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land.
Netanyahu accused Obama and his secretary of state, John Kerry, of being personally behind the “shameful act” and summoned the US ambassador over the issue.
Many congressional lawmakers also slammed the Obama administration for refusing to veto the measure and allowing it to be adopted.
In a statement on Thursday, US House Speaker Paul Ryan condemned the Security Council resolution as a “misguided hit job,” and said “It’s time to rebuild our partnership” with Israel.
“I am stunned at what happened last month. This government – our government – abandoned our ally Israel when she needed us the most,” Ryan told the chamber shortly before the House vote.
The US had previously used its veto power at the Security Council to block similar resolutions against Israel, but White House officials said Obama felt that after eight years he had simply failed to convince Netanyahu that settlement building on Palestinian land was sabotaging the “two-state solution.”
Over half a million Israelis live in more than 230 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem al-Quds.

“The motion, passed 342 to 80…”
That says it all, and now you know who runs congress.
When did ANYTHING pass by such a margin that wasn’t a service to the Zionists?
JooSA….JooSA!!!!
RAGNAROK SAID IT ALL
When is enough..enough…when can we start kicking Jews out of their homes here on US soil. I’m sure I can find a huge mansion on the beach in Florida where I can aggressively kick the Jew owners out to the street and claim that property and land as mine or yours..this will be done like the movie purge. See how Nutbag-Nyahoo likes those apples..
The U.S. House is the Israeli “Brown nosers” society. Scum-sucking bottomfeeders, each and every one! Anyone in politics smells sh*t everywhere they go, they just “follow their noses” to the nearest brown spot, puckered orifice, and burrow it in deep. They’re accustom to that sh*t smell since they are walking, talking pieces of sh*t!
Even worse than our bought and paid for congress are the American people who think this evil, satanic Israel and these fake Jews are God’s chosen.
“The motion, passed 342 to 80 on Thursday, described last month’s resolution as “an obstacle to Israel-Palestinian peace,”
RESOLUTIONS AREN’T THE OBSTACLE, MORONS, THE STINKING jEWS ARE!!!!!
No peace on Earth until the cockroaches are exterminated!
Gee…it kinda makes you wonder who owns Congress now doesn’t it?
It’s not rocket science. The whole lot of them need to be taken out when they’re sitting in Congress. No one would miss them, that’s for sure.
Meanwhile, the REAL Americans in this country have this to say to Israel,

Note to other countries: By all means, do what you want with these assholes in Congress. We Real Americans want to see them all hung as much as you do. The people in this country are just too chickenshit to do anything about it.
Plain as day people. God damn kikes. You know it and I know it. It’s got to be done. Let’s just do it.
