The United States has recently voted for a U.N. resolution that characterized the West Bank and JerusalemIsraels capitalas Palestinian lands. The resolution states that the United Nations is "gravely concerned about the deterioration of the situation in all the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967. including Jerusalem." This was the second time in 2 years that the United States had voted for such untrue language. Then there was President Bushs unanticipated and still perplexing pronouncement last Spring that the United States considers East Jerusalem to be occupied Arab territory and off limits for settlement by immigrant Soviet Jews. Furthermore. the United States permitted the passage of other U.N. resolutions condemning Israel. our strongest ally. Those U.N. resolutions convey a number of very distinct messages to the world community.
