What was Obama thinking when he ordered Susan Rice U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to veto a security council resolution calling Israeli settlements on Palestinian land in occupied East Jerusalem "illegal"?
It is beyond doubt that under international law, land taken by a state in a military conflict must be returned to the vanquished. Israel seized this land from Palestinians in the 1967 War.
Erecting Israeli settlements upon this land violates international law and is "illegal."

Roberto, Barack Obama is a corporate tool and an empty suit. The man is a puppet. I am disgusted when I see people continue to defend this drone. He will continue to carry water for the Republicans - and his corporate owners.
