It's laughable to suggest we live in a democracy.

UN Security Council rejects Palestinian resolution

The UN Security Council has rejected a resolution demanding an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories within three years.

Jordan submitted the motion after it had been agreed upon by 22 Arab states and the Palestinian Authority.

Eight members of the 15-strong Security Council voted for it while the US and Australia voted against.

The resolution, condemned by Israel as a "gimmick", needed the support of at least nine members in order to pass.

Even if it had secured the required nine votes, the US would have used its veto power to stop the adoption of the resolution.

Of the 15 members of the Security Council

• Russia, China, France, Argentina, Chad, Chile, Jordan and Luxembourg voted in favour

• The US and Australia voted against

• The UK, Lithuania, Nigeria, the Republic of Korea and Rwanda abtrained

The document called for Israel to fully withdraw from all occupied Palestinian territories by the end of 2017 and for a comprehensive peace deal to be reached within a year.

It also called for new negotiations to take place based on territorial lines that existed before Israel's occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 war.

The vote was the culmination of three months of campaigning by the Palestinians at the UN.

In a closed-door meeting of Arab states earlier on Tuesday, all 22 envoys endorsed the call for a same-day vote on the draft.

Nice to see what company we keep with our voting. For all our supposed betterment we reach the same conclusion as nigeria and north korea.

I see Netanyahu is visiting Paris today to commemorate the victims at the kosher shop.

 

While a tragedy, I hope he doesn't use this as another stick with which to beat the Palestinians with on their quest for statehood.  It would be typical of him to do so, having previously compared Hamas to ISIS (which IMO is bonkers).

France didn't actually want him there, did they?

I can't imagine that he was welcomed with open arms.  Though the loons now know what they have to do to flush him out.

A nice picture of the "leaders" of the free world here. Or what should really be the Fletcher Memorial Home's newest residents.

Wonder if he'll thank the muslim shop assistant, Lassana Bathily, who saved the lives of customers by hiding them in the shop fridge.

Please vote the Nazi out today, ta (I'm aware they have about 327 parties, and no-one will win more than about a quarter of the votes).

Think their parties actually have different ideologies, to be fair.

[Section_31]

There should be special hasidic Jews who can throw their hats and decapitate people like Kung Lao from Mortal Combat.

 

Killer Lipschitz wins...Jewality.

But I'm an Israeli citizen?

[ratcatcher]

The irony of calling a Jewish PM a 'nazi,' you couldnt make such shit up. Unless you're a halocaust denier.

[Jairzinho]

That. Is. The. Point.
