“I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 (ESV)
In an unprecedented move the United States has joined 14 other nations in condemning Israel for living and building in Judea and Eastern Jerusalem before the U.N. Security Council.
The U.S. has veto power over any measure presented there. Instead of using this power the U.S. abstained from the vote, paving the way for the Council to condemn Israel for maintaining sites like the Western Wall. The White House has confirmed that this decision came directly from President Obama.
Its unwise to turn our backs on Israel.
