President Reuven Rivlin joined Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in condemning the passing of UN Security Council Resolution 2334.
The President stated, “United Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel and so it will remain. There is no international body with the power to revoke this status.
“This disgraceful, serious, and unfortunate decision taken by the UN causes diplomatic damage to Israel. This is a decision which brings us no nearer to negotiations with the Palestinians, but rather makes such a prospect even more distant. There has never been and will never be a replacement for direct negotiations between the two sides.
“We expected that the United States – our greatest ally and friend which has stood unwavering on the side of Israel’s security needs throughout the years – would stand by us at this time and not abandon us, leaving us in the hands of a cynical body driven by alien interests.
“The third light of Chanukah, I will light in Beit El together with the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria.”

Wow. I can’t remember the last time in my lifetime that Israel spoke out so harshly about the United States. They deserve it unquestionably, I just wonder how Israel is not afraid of upsetting a country that supplies them billions in military aid. When your entire military is basically made possible by the U.S, how aren’t you nervous to lash out publicly against them?
After he sees that the American public and the entire world accepted his false Birth Certificate apathetically and allowed him to stay in office, he got the guts and the green light to admit another side of his dark self and what he thinks about Jews and Israel. This is the good-bye gift he’s giving the American people.
IF HE’S NOT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY HE’LL SHOW HIS TRUE EVIL EVEN MORE AND BECOME EVEN MORE DESTRUCTIVE.
