    Nickolay Mladenov told the U.N. Security Council Tuesday that “divisive” calls for annexations in the 60 percent of the West Bank exclusively controlled by Israel known as Area C have been made following the council’s approval of a resolution last month condemning Israel’s settlement construction.

    He stressed that Israel and the Palestinians “must avoid any unilateral action that would prejudge a negotiated final status solution.”

    The Palestinian U.N. ambassador Riyad Mansour says the resolution’s adoption “represents a turning point” and Israel “must choose between occupation and peace.”

    Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon says it has set back peace.

    Guess what?!? So does unilaterally declaring a Palestinian state! That will surely destroy any prospect of peace.

    Israel doesn’t have a peace partner. There are no peace prospects. Therefore, anything Israel does (or doesn’t do) does not risk peace prospects.

    Get over it.

    But these hypocritical anti-semites are not at all concerned about unilateral actions from the Palestinians.
