Last week at the Doha debates, Roger Cohen of the New York Times said that the U.S. might well not veto a Security Council resolution that condemns Israel and this would be huge. We get the same report from Mark Landler in the Times:
Separately, these officials said, Mr. Mitchell’s deputy, David Hale, indicated to the Palestinians that if Israel proceeded with the construction of 1,600 housing units in Jerusalem’s ultra-orthodox neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, the United States would abstain from, rather than veto, a resolution in the United Nations Security Council condemning the move.
American Thinker has knickers in twist over the report. H/t Mark.
