So what you get is another toothless resolution condemning Israel. What suppose some people hope is that by getting the UN to declare the settlements illegal they can somehow impose their will on the US Congress and force it to block US funding of Israeli settlement activities. That would not happen. Until the majority of the US public believes that the Arabs will accept and live peacefully alongside any Jewish state, there is no hope of changing US policy towards Israel in a meaningful way.Atlanta Roofinghttp://www.hotfrog.com/Companies/Atlanta-Roofing-Resourcesnoreply@blogger.com
