Dear Robert,

Urge Congress and President Obama to defend Senegal's and New Zealand's
votes on the UN settlement resolution.
Take Action

On December 23, the UN Security Council adopted a *historic resolution
against settlement colonies in the Palestinian West Bank*. The vote was
14-0, with the US abstaining. US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power said

following the vote: "Today the Security Council reaffirmed its established
consensus that the settlements have no legal validity."

Bibi Netanyahu retaliated for the vote by recalling ambassadors from New
Zealand and Senegal, and by ending all aid programs for Senegal

.

*Urge President Obama and Congress to stand with New Zealand and Senegal by
signing our petition at MoveOn
