And one more thing about this resolution that I find troubling:

Despite its passing and the intended obvious support of the Palestinian cause and plight, the Palestinian leadership including Abbas and spokesman Saeb Erakat, still continue to say that they cannot acknowledge the right of an independent jewish state.  They still refuse to acknowledge Israel's right to exist.  

How could you ever expect Israel to get along with people that fail, under any circumstances, to recognize their legitimacy.  

I'm not talking about wether settlements are right or wrong, I'm simply talking about Israel's right to exist.
