Total nonsense. It's an excellent article by a respected diplomat. Pointing out issues, like the settlements, where Israel is flagrantly ignoring international law, according to every relevant international body, is not anti-Israel. 'Terror state' is your term, but it's not remotely accurate. Also, look at the context for the US abstention; there is absolutely zero happening to move peace forward, and a consensual peace has to be the goal. Also, the rate of settlement is INCREASING. 100,000 new settlers, all illegal, since 2009. Shortly after the vote, Israel announced 6,000 new settlers, and 600 new settlements in East Jerusalem, on hold I believe but the point is the utterly corrupt Netanyahu and his cronies are continuing an illegal policy that simply makes the situation worse, and is opposed by a significant number of Israeli Jews themselves. The resolution, and the vote, are timely and necessary. and there is nothing Trump can do about it thanks to the vetos of the SC.
