un demands israel stop settlements

nice. but isn't this the same thing they've been saying for 30 years, to no effect? Israel just keeps on building (stealing), no matter what they say or what anyone else says. while the world talks, Israel keeps building, stealing, and killing. and the US keeps supporting Israel.

New York- The United Nations has demanded that Israel immediately halt its controversial settlement policy, it was reported Saturday. "Settlements in the occupied Palestinian Territories, including East Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights (are) illegal and an obstacle to peace as well as economic and social development," a resolution passed by the UN General Assembly with 162 votes in favour late Friday in New York said.

Eight countries, including Israel and the United States, voted against the resolution, while 10 abstained.
