Is Jerusalem headed for turbulent times? This is the question that has occupied the minds of many since the recent United Nations Security Council vote against Israel. Just before last Christmas, the UN Security Council passed a resolution condemning Israel’s settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The council approved the resolution with a 14-0 vote, but with the US abstaining.
While this is just but one of the many resolutions taken against Israel in the recent past, it appears to underline an apparent bias against Israel and its isolation at the UN.
