Hague told the House of Commons Wednesday that the decision to abstain was made after consultations with fellow Security Council member France and other European countries.
He says the U.N. vote will be held soon.
Hague said in a statement that the Palestinian situation would be best resolved by negotiation and urged Israel to return to direct talks with Palestinian leaders.
The foreign secretary says Britain remains committed to helping the Palestinians achieve statehood and will work to help alleviate poverty and to build institutions there.
The Brits (while maintaining their history of anti-Semitism) have turned from a world “Empire” into a bunch of leftist wimps. British ‘culture’ (such as it is/was) is drowning under weight of the moslem invasion of Britain. If they don’t wake up NOW, they are doomed. British Jews would be wise to ‘see the handwriting on the wall’ and get out, as so many Jews from France have done in the last 6 or 7 years.
Here is a morally clear position if I ever saw one: we will obstain. Worthy of that exceedingly sick country, England.
